Michael Oren: “We shouldn't increase that aid. They certainly shouldn't agree to a pause to increase the amount of humanitarian aid…”

I think that the minister Ben-Gvir's posting was totally indefensible and irresponsible and dangerous.

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.

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

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.
