US-backed ceasefire rejected, ISR

Netanyahu rejected the idea of a lasting cease fire in Gaza. He spoke of "pauses" but it is not clear that those would allow in enough aid to save Palestinians from dying from shortages.

I think that whatever Netanyahu says about what he will or might do in the future is bullshit, just as if it came from the wrecker. Furthermore, since Netanyahu wants the wrecker to win the election, he will say whatever will cause trouble for Biden now. As long as Biden doesn't dare to do defy Netanyahu in something with consequences, Netanyahu will drag Biden around on a chain and he may indeed lose.

Let's not lose sight of where we want to end up.
