Biden administration clings to cease-fire talks with no Plan B
Quick Glance: Biden Administration's Cease-Fire Efforts Under Scrutiny
  • The Biden administration's aspirations to end the war in Gaza and progress towards a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine hinge on securing a temporary cease-fire and the release of Israeli hostages.

  • The U.S. strategy focuses on halting the conflict momentarily, aiming for subsequent cease-fires, hostage releases, humanitarian aid, and the reconstruction of post-war Gaza under Palestinian Authority.

  • Arab involvement, particularly from Saudi Arabia, is pivotal in negotiations to push Israel towards considering a separate Palestinian state amidst escalating tensions.

  • With no contingency plan in place, pressures from potential Iranian strikes and the condition of the hostages in Gaza intensify the urgency for a breakthrough in the cease-fire discussions.

Quick Glance: Overcoming Hamas Challenge Amid Israel's Approach to Victory
  • Despite the Israeli prime minister's assertion of being on the brink of defeating Hamas, indications suggest the cruel terror group will emerge undefeated.

  • Persistently emphasizing relentless pursuit of 'total victory,' Netanyahu's aspirations may not align with reality.

  • Hamas stands as a sophisticated underground organization - in the most literal and metaphorical sense.

  • Israel's failure to devise a post-war strategic plan for governing Gaza echoes the missteps of the Americans in Baghdad in 2003.
