Some officials say the agreement is a “vindication,” while others insist it was just the necessary move at this point in the war.
There is "concern" in the Biden White House "about an unintended consequence of the pause: that it would allow journalists broader access to Gaza and the opportunity to further illuminate the devastation there and turn public opinion on Israel."
@DiplomacyTaylor6mos6MO
I mean public opinion has already turned. People are not gonna be celebrating this “holiday” they’re gonna be out in the streets for a Free Palestine
@CynicalGovernment6mos6MO
You would think they would have nothing to hide being on the 'right side of history'.
@CynicalGovernment6mos6MO
That's where we are, unfettered journalism is an unintended consequence for a US government.
"Oh say can you see....no you can't, don't look at this, look at that"
@9H5YDSC6mos6MO
I think we should call for ceasefire for Gaza and what Israel is doing should be considered genocide.
@9H5XM4N6mos6MO
I think Biden is delusional of the topic and sometimes even hypocritical as he doesn't really support the genocide from Israel but still is aiding in billions to Israel.
@D3legateGrace6mos6MO
So they know the devastation is there they just don't want us to see it. So they want to let the bombing continue until there is nothing to see and nobody to find
@FierceOil6mos6MO
These people are the worst. In every scenario on the top of their lists of concerns are the optics or controlling narratives.
"You guys. Israel is doing a genocide"
"Yeah, we're not using the G word. It doesn't play well in Peoria."
@DeterminedPanda6mos6MO
Any deals they may accept are a direct result of the massive casualties IOF are taking on the ground in Gaza, combined with the crescendo of pressure they’re facing on the northern front with Hezbollah.
