    The Biden administration fears that Israeli PM Netanyahu might reject the deal even if Hamas accepts it.

    The final decision rests with Hamas.

    Those two statements seem to be in contradiction.

        I am aware of that; I checked.

        I also didn’t make mention of it, because it’s really not relevant.

        I read more than one source, especially when I’m interested. What “opinion” do you find objectionable?

          I don’t find it objectionable. I find it missing citation and in direct conflict with the contents of the article. The article states that Netanyahu has agreed to the ceasefire. You stated that the Biden administration fears Netanyahu may not agree. Do you have a source that supports your claim?

            One of different news outlets made that conjecture. I’ll see if I can find it. Blnken is in Isreal for a reason.

              According to the article he’s there to press Hamas to agree to the ceasefire.

              The vote comes as Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in the Middle East to further negotiate the cease-fire and hostage agreement.

              As he departed Cairo earlier Monday for Tel Aviv, Blinken called it a “critical moment.”

              “My message to governments throughout the region, to people throughout the region: If you want a cease-fire, press Hamas to say yes,” Blinken told reporters. "If you want to alleviate the terrible suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, press Hamas to say yes.

              “If you want to get all the hostages home, press Hamas to say yes,” he continued. “If you want to put present Palestinians and Israelis alike on the path to more durable peace and security, if you want to prevent this conflict from spreading, press Hamas to say yes.”
