Hamas must be stopped, Israel needs to reconsider how to avoid civilians as they are being reckless now.

 @9P8KB2Yanswered…9mos9MO

Yes, and call for the immeditate release of hostage (dead or alive), provide aid and a two-state solution

 @9N7QHC9answered…10mos10MO

ABSOLUTELY. We have been advocating for this since the start!! Blame Hamas all you want but their attack was a direct reaction to all the hate and violence and control they have suffered from Israel for YEARS. We would do the same here wouldn’t we? I know people are saying Israel are only ‘fighting back’ but their reaction is FAR exceeding ‘acceptable’ (lack of a better word). Have you not seen the images and videos coming out of Gaza? As a mother my heart is broken. I couldn’t imagine holding my two year old who’s stomach has been blown open, or her…  Read more

Call for an end to Israel's occupation and oppression of Palestine and the implementation of a secular Palestinian government without influence from religious terrorist groups like Hamas

 @9SJD2SVanswered…7mos7MO

Yes and then work to set up a Palestinian state and condemn Israel publically for their atrocities as well as reducing their land in the region, and kicking out all of the illegal settlers.

 @9PYL8R2answered…9mos9MO

Yes, and Israel should be required to relinquish all territory it has illegally occupied including the Golan Heights.

 @9PXYDYRanswered…9mos9MO

Only if a plan for resolution is accepted and the requirement for Israel to be exterminated is removed

 @9NYZPB5answered…10mos10MO

No, should be calling for a peace resolution to the conflict, immediate ceasefire doesn't solve the problem

Netanyahu Faces Revolt: Far-right Threatens Walkout Over Hamas Deal

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday accused Hamas of reneging on parts of the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, as he faced pushback against the US-brokered agreement from his far-right allies.Netanyahu’s government, which relies on the parliamentary support of two far-right parties bitterly opposed to any deal, accused Hamas of backtracking on Thursday morning.“Israel will not set a date for a cabinet and government meeting [to approve the deal] until the mediators announce that Hamas has approved all the details of the agreement,” Netanyahu’s office said.Israel said earlier on Thursday that Hamas was seeking to dictate which Palestinian prisoners should be released in exchange for Israeli hostages.Netanyahu’s statement came as a finance minister Bezalel Smotrich’s far-right Religious Zionist party said on Thursday morning that it could leave the government if the deal led to a permanent end of the war.Speaking to Kan Radio, Zvi Sukkot, a lawmaker from the party, said it would “in all likelihood” resign from the government if a deal was approved, since its mission was to “change the DNA of Israel”, not just make up numbers in the coalition. The party said later on Thursday it was “a condition for the party to remain in the government and the coalition” that Israel should resume fighting “immediately upon the conclusion of the first phase of the deal”.While Smotrich and his far-right ally Itamar Ben-Gvir are not thought to have enough support in the cabinet to torpedo a deal should Netanyahu put it to a vote, if they both pulled their far-right parties out of the government, it would lose its majority in parliament.This would not automatically spell the end of Netanyahu’s government, as Israel’s political system does not bar minority governments, and opposition parties have said that they are prepared to prop up the government if needed.But the loss of his two far right allies would shake Netanyahu’s hold on power and could lead to early elections.
