All jokes aside, this likely did not happen. (Probably). But if it did, I don't exactly mind.

🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇪🇬/🇶🇦 BREAKING: The Gaza ceasefire talks are 'as good as dead'; Bibi considers holding on to the Philadelphi Corridor and Netzarim Corridor as more important than returning the hostages, many of whom are presumed dead

Most of the other Israeli leadership is frustrated at Netanyahu for imposing 'unrealistic expectations' and not making any compromises. Just last week, Netanyahu told Blinken he was
optimistic about reaching a deal.

🇮🇱/🇪🇬/🇵🇸 TLDR: Egypt will not support a ceasefire deal unless Israel retreats from the Philadelphi Corridor along its border in Gaza, but Netanyahu insists on retaining an IDF presence here, and considers this more important than the hostages. Therefore, there is a total breakdown of talks between Israel and Egypt.

On the other hand, Hamas also insists on a full withdrawal of IDF forces from the entire Gaza Strip, but Netanyahu insists on retaining a presence, including in the Netzarim Corridor, which cuts Gaza in half. This is why Hamas does not agree.

The TLDR is longer than the original post but whatever, you get what I mean.

🇮🇱/🇵🇸 From the above information, we can sort of conclude what type of deal the Israelis have been proposing:

– A temporary humanitarian ceasefire in return for some of the hostages, and then a phased withdrawal of the IDF from most of Gaza, simultaneous with the release of the remaining hostages, leading into a permanent ceasefire, but with the IDF staying to monitor the Egypt-Gaza border and the Netzarim Corridor in specific.

Basically, Israel is willing to give Hamas the 'permanent ceasefire' it wants, but only if the IDF will remain stationed in specific areas of the Gaza Strip, to monitor movement of people and goods.

Obviously, this is unacceptable to Hamas, and it makes sense why they pulled out of the negotiations. Per the deal that Biden proposed a few months ago, the IDF would withdraw fully from the Gaza Strip, and Hamas was ready to take this proposal, until Netanyahu changed it.

On a positive note, no Gaza ceasefire means that the chances of a significant Iranian attack against Israel increase exponentially.
