Will Israel choose truce or war?
Briefly

Hamas has offered significant concessions on key sticking points, including the number of Palestinian prisoners to be released, Israeli withdrawal from the border with Egypt, and terms related to the so-called GHF. A proposed temporary pause in the War on Gaza is on the table, with negotiators attempting to bridge differences. The United States has given Israel broad support to continue military operations. Israel’s rejection of a pause would signal an unwillingness to accept a negotiated deal. The central question remains whether Israel will sign a temporary agreement or continue full-scale military action.
Journalist and author Jeremy Scahill argues that Israel is feigning ignorance if it thinks Hamas will surrender. If Israel rejects the latest offer to pause its War on Gaza, it's a sign that Israel doesn't want any deal, argues US journalist and author Jeremy Scahill. Scahill, the co-founder of Drop Site News, tells host Steve Clemons that Hamas has offered major concessions on sticking points such as the number of Palestinian prisoners to be released, Israeli withdrawal from the border with Egypt, and the so-called GHF.

But with carte blanche from the US to continue its war, the question remains: Will Israel decide to sign a temporary deal or pursue war?
