Now Biden is thinking againnn LOL! Biden says cease-fire before Ramadan 'looking tough' US President Joe Biden has raised skepticism regarding a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip to coincide with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, likely to begin on either Sunday or Monday evening. "It's looking tough," Biden told reporters, after talks over a six-week cease-fire broke down a day earlier, despite previous optimism. When asked about the possibility of violence in east Jerusalem during the holy month, Biden said "I sure am" worried. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-biden-now-skeptical-of-ramadan-cease-fire/live-68478709

Maybe this reason Hamas is not interested Israel says Mossad and CIA heads met, Hamas 'not interested' in cease-fire Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office issued a statement on behalf of the spy agency Mossad on Saturday, saying the country was still seeking an exchange deal of some kind with Hamas and accusing the group of not engaging seriously in the talks. "The head of the Mossad, David Barnea, met yesterday with the head of the CIA, Bill Burns, as part of the ceaseless efforts to advance another hostage deal," the statement said. It said Israel remained in contact with mediators seeking a possible deal but added that Hamas was "not interested" and was "striving to inflame the region during Ramadan." Hamas in turn has blamed Israel for the deadlock. Its armed wing said on Friday that there would be "no compromise" on its demand for a permanent Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in exchange for the hostages' release.
