The Deep State and Joe Biden have ordered Israel to stop the war. Destroying Hamas should not happen according to the powers that be, but Netanyahu claims he will destroy the terrorists. Is a color revolution by the Deep State, going to be relaunched to oust Netanyahu?
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to visit Israel early next week, as confirmed by the State Department on Friday. This visit comes as Jerusalem awaits Hamas’s response to a hostage deal proposal submitted the previous week. Blinken’s trip will also include stops in Egypt and Qatar, countries that have been mediators along with the U.S. in the ongoing hostage negotiations.

Starting on Monday, the three-day tour will include a visit to Jordan, where Blinken will attend an international donor conference for the Palestinians. In each of these countries, he will emphasize the need for Hamas to accept the current hostage deal proposal, which is nearly identical to one Hamas had previously endorsed. This will be Blinken’s eighth visit to the region since the conflict began.
This visit follows potential political shifts in Israel, with war cabinet minister Benny Gantz expected to announce his departure from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. Gantz is reportedly frustrated with Netanyahu’s lack of a clear plan for Gaza’s governance post-war. The U.S. has attempted to persuade Gantz to delay his departure until Hamas responds to the Israeli hostage deal proposal, submitted on May 30.
Recognizing the urgency, President Biden adopted a new strategy on May 31, delivering a high-stakes speech that disclosed key details of the Israeli proposal and urged Hamas to accept it. This move was designed to pressure Netanyahu into publicly supporting the proposal, which he had initially authorized but kept under wraps due to concerns over backlash from his far-right coalition partners. Indeed, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have threatened to topple the government if Netanyahu proceeds with the deal.
‘I think the proposal we made was generous, and Hamas should’ve accepted it. But Hamas is playing with the lives of our hostages trying to get political gains,’

Biden’s approach also placed the onus on Hamas, with the U.S. highlighting that the Israeli offer closely mirrors one previously made by Hamas in earlier negotiations. On Friday, the White House reiterated its expectation for an official response from Hamas, with spokesperson John Kirby noting that Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron would discuss the issue during their upcoming meeting.
The Israeli proposal outlines a three-stage process. The first phase includes a six-week truce during which Israel will release hundreds of Palestinian security prisoners in exchange for the freedom of remaining Israeli female, elderly, and sick hostages, as well as the return of several bodies. Additionally, Israel will withdraw the IDF from Gaza population centers, allow unrestricted return of Palestinians to all areas of the Strip, and facilitate the daily entry of 600 trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
A key sticking point has been Israel’s condition to resume fighting after hostages are released, whereas Hamas demands a commitment to a permanent ceasefire. To address this, clause 14 of the Israeli proposal suggests that during the first phase, both parties will negotiate the terms of a permanent ceasefire (phase two), aiming to finalize it by the end of the fifth week of the truce. If no agreement is reached, the initial ceasefire can be extended indefinitely, provided that negotiations continue.

If Hamas violates the deal, Israel reserves the right to resume fighting. Should agreements be made during phase one talks, a six-week phase two will begin, involving the release of remaining Israeli hostages, including young men and soldiers, in exchange for the release of a significant number of Palestinian prisoners and the complete withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza.
In the final six-week phase three, Hamas would release the remaining bodies of hostages, while Israel would start an internationally backed Gaza reconstruction plan. Which simply means, American money wasted. We paid Hamas before the attack. We paid Israel to fight Hamas, while paying Hamas so they can kill more Jews. Then we paid the PLA (Palestinian Authority) to fully fund their Martyr program which has their streets lined with photos of those that kill Jews. Their families are paid monthly by American money after the terrorists die killing Jews and Americans. Such is the insanity of the Biden Admin and Democrats. We play all sides while death mounts everywhere. We need Trump ASAP
Major Points:
- U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit Israel, Egypt, and Qatar next week to discuss the ongoing hostage deal negotiations with Hamas.
- The visit aims to push Hamas to accept the latest hostage deal proposal, which closely resembles a previous agreement Hamas had endorsed.
- Blinken will also attend an international donor conference for Palestinians in Jordan during his three-day tour.
- The visit comes amid potential political changes in Israel, with war cabinet minister Benny Gantz possibly leaving Netanyahu’s government over disagreements on Gaza’s post-war plan.
- The Israeli proposal involves a three-phase process for a truce, prisoner exchanges, and Gaza reconstruction, contingent on Hamas’s adherence to the deal.
