How does it get a ceasefire? By getting Israel to kill, inadvertently, Palestinians. That increases international pressure on Israel.

If you put pressure on Hamas -- notice the Hamas wasn't willing to negotiate at all before Israel went out on the ground.

They've broken every ceasefire in the past. They've never kept a ceasefire. So it's very difficult to negotiate with someone who's, like, moving that football constantly.

Well, first of all, MJ is absolutely right. You don't have an agreement with Hamas. And even if you have an agreement, you don't have an agreement because they don't negotiate in good faith.

I think the Israeli public will be open to any realistic venue that will change the status quo, perhaps a peaceful resolution.

He is showing that America, after a long period of isolationism, is willing to project power again on a massive scale.

The president and his administration have not wavered a bit. They understand that the ceasefire means Hamas wins, Hamas gets away with mass murder.

You have Mahmoud Abbas. He is the president for the Palestinian authority. He's in the 18th year of his four-year term, all right? He will not stand for re-election because he knows if he does, he's going to lose to Hamas.

We're under the pressure from the pictures coming out of Gaza. We're under the pressure from our own party. Can you do your utmost? Could you open up these, you know, humanitarian corridors or humanitarian pauses to allow aid in and…

I think that when you're fighting against an enemy that's hiding behind its own population, using them as human shields, the administration has said this, Secretary Blinken has said this repeatedly, there's going to be civilian casualties.

Qatar is the godfather of Hamas. Qatar hosts some of the leading figures in Hamas.

A ceasefire means Hamas wins. As simple as that.
