US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday expressed frustration that Hamas has submitted “numerous changes” to a US-backed proposal for a ceasefire and release of hostages in Gaza – a development that casts further doubt on the prospects of quickly securing the deal the US hopes will bring “an enduring end” to the war.
I think the US aim is to get fighting to stop as quick as possible using a temporary ceasefire with easily acceptable conditions by both sides. So then people stop dieing and they can spend more time on a permanent ceasefire.
The last few months do not paint the US as the peacemakers here. It’s hard to tell what motivation they have here beyond saving face before election time.
