New ceasefire agreement

I agree someone will need to rebuild Gaza. Don't know who though.

Edited to say: Not Trump!

If Hamas leave which we all hope will happen who do posters see in charge of Gaza?

Possibly.
I don’t know.
Im just commenting that they are re iterating previous offers.

Maybe Hamas aren’t actually offering anything new then despite their rhetoric of entering a “new serious round of negotiations”?

Your use of the term ‘parroting’ is offensive and suggestive.
Theres no call for that irrespective of how passionate you may be about this subject.

I won’t be engaging with the likes of this language again.

Israel has taken control of aid distribution and before that the UN.

Regarding the Control of Gaza.
Im pointing out Hamas discussion re control of Gaza is not a new thing.
They've been saying this for over a year. If there’s peace that can be part of the peace negotiations.

Like tfey’ve been leaving control of Aid to others?

Can we assume you believe them as you’re parroting them?

This isn’t the first time Hamas have said they’d leave the control of Gaza to others.

It was mentioned a long time ago.

From the same article: Empty promises or real change?

Hamas has finally woken up to the fact that they are staring down the barrel of complete annihilation, especially after Israel’s recent precision strikes took out key leaders, including Mohammed Sinwar, brother of Yahya Sinwar, who Israel had killed previously. Jerusalem has made it crystal clear it is not stopping until every last Hamas leader is eliminated and the entire military and organizational apparatus is dismantled.

FACED WITH this grim reality, Hamas is desperately trying to spin negotiations and political grandstanding into a lifeline, hoping against hope that something, anything, might shift on the regional or international stage to pull them back from the brink.

Evidently, the terror group knows perfectly well that their October 7 rampage was essentially organizational suicide, not just for themselves, but for all of Gaza. This is the same movement that spent years claiming to be the great defenders of Palestinian interests, only to lead their own people straight into the worst humanitarian catastrophe they have ever seen.

They destroyed Gaza’s infrastructure, and got tens of thousands of civilians killed or displaced. And now, instead of owning up to what they have done, they are cynically using the suffering of ordinary Gazans as bargaining chips in their negotiations with Israel.

Looking at the bigger picture, it is obvious that Hamas’s recent talk about possibly stepping down from leadership of Gaza is really about achieving four main goals: First, they want to win over international opinion by playing the part of the reasonable, compromise-ready political player. Second, they are trying to drag out negotiations for as long as possible to buy time and figure out their next move.

Third, they are scrambling to find some kind of safe haven for their leaders, who are now living with targets on their backs. And fourth, they want to dump the massive responsibility of rebuilding Gaza on someone else’s shoulders while somehow keeping their own political and military power intact.

Jerusalem Post: Hamas’s talk of leaving Gaza: Real change or just buying time? - opinion

Do Hamas’s recent statements about potentially giving up control of Gaza signal a real change of heart, or are they just another calculated move to buy time and polish their image on the world stage? And what should we make of their carefully crafted political language that oscillates between “proposals” and “possibilities” while avoiding any firm commitments?

Hamas’s latest pronouncements expose deep-seated contradictions that display just how strategically confused and politically rattled the movement has become after enduring more than 19 months of relentless Israeli military operations following the terrorist group’s terror attacks on October 7, 2023.

Here is a terror organization that dragged Gaza into an unparalleled humanitarian disaster, now desperately trying to rebrand itself as some kind of responsible political actor looking for solutions while conveniently forgetting they are the ones who caused this tragedy in the first place.

Now that would be a good idea, it was originally intended for them.

Absolutely.

Hamas aren't going to get better terms the longer this drags on

So at this stage it's pointless them not agreeing to the best deal they can get (which is already a worse deal than they could have got a few months ago).

Hamas have lost. They have ‘no cards’.
They should have come to the table a lot sooner. It would have saved the destruction of Gaza.

I assume You haven’t read the terms of that recent ceasefire agreement.
I only say so as it’s very clear to all who appreciate its contents that it was entirely one sided.

The previous one agreed to buy both sides was far more balanced.

Netanyahu would have to be either stupid or a complete narcissist to not see the reality of the recent one. The later I think. A ceasefire won’t complete his grand plan, an Israeli flag flying over Gaza and all Palestinians dead or excommunicated.

It’s really very simple and clear every country has realised this. Hence their voting.

and Israel could have stuck to the previous one that they both agreed to months ago.

They'd rather boom and kill instead. They got what they wanted after stage 1 then carried out some of the heaviest bombing in the whole war.

You know this.

Hamas could have had a ceasefire only a few days ago, but they rejected it.
They are the masters of their own (and the Gazans) destruction.

This is blatantly untrue

The rest of the world voted for a ceasefire with the US standing alone in the last UN security councils last ceasefire resolution

They only want a ceasefire because their annihilation is otherwise assured. The US backs Israel, as do the rest of the Western world.
The social media support is not changing government’s stances on Israel.
It’s game over and they are trying to save their skins and stay in power.

although I disagree Hamas don’t care about their own people. They are trying to create a Gaza without Israeli influence. Something they haven’t experienced since the end of WW2. ( Hamas, have said they will step down in terms of control of the country if the war ends ).

They deliberately get as many Gazan civilians as possible killed for propaganda purposes. The committed the worst terrorist atrocity against Jewish people since the Holocaust, knowing what the outcome would be for Gaza as a whole, particularly as they embed themselves beneath crucial civil infrastructure like hospitals.

They don't give a single shit about the life of the people unfortunate enough to live under their rule.
And I don't believe they have any intention of giving up power. They could already have ended the war by doing so.

Hamas says ready to enter into new talks for 'permanent ceasefire' with Israel in Gaza

Hamas's lead negotiator Khalil al-Hayya said the group was ready to enter a new round of talks aimed at sealing a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, where rescuers said Israeli strikes killed at least 37 people on Thursday, June 5.

"We reaffirm that we are ready for a new, serious round of negotiations aimed at reaching a permanent ceasefire agreement," Hayya said, adding the group was in contact with mediators.

As reported in Le Monde, Israel and Hamas appeared close to an agreement late last month, following discussions mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the United States. US President Donald Trump said on May 30 that he believed an agreement for a truce in exchange for the release of hostages held by Hamas was "very close."
Israel and Hamas then accused each other of scuppering a proposal submitted by US special envoy Steve Witkoff, with the envoy himself describing the Palestinian militants' response as "totally unacceptable."

Interesting piece @Namechangedformyanswer

although I disagree Hamas don’t care about their own people. They are trying to create a Gaza without Israeli influence. Something they haven’t experienced since the end of WW2. ( Hamas, have said they will step down in terms of control of the country if the war ends ).

This piece from the article is perhaps the most interesting in terms of why the ceasefire wasn’t agreed upon.
ie Hamas do not trust Netanyahu to ever agree to a permanent ceasefire and withdrawal as ‘both’ parties would have to agree to it.
I would say I think this is true given Netanyahus main plan for Gaza even before the war started.
