Arab officials: Trump envoy swayed Netanyahu more in one meeting than Biden did all year

[daveman]

‘Tense’ Jerusalem sit-down led to breakthrough in talks, with Israel and Hamas agreeing in principle to hostage deal two days later; sides now finalizing implementation details​

A “tense” weekend meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and incoming Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff led to a breakthrough in the hostage negotiations, with the top aide to US President-elect Donald Trump doing more to sway the premier in a single sit-down than outgoing President Joe Biden did all year, two Arab officials told The Times of Israel on Tuesday.

Witkoff has been in Doha for the past week to take part in the hostage negotiations, as mediators try to secure a deal before Trump’s January 20 inauguration. On Saturday, Witkoff flew to Israel for a meeting with Netanyahu at the premier’s Jerusalem office.

During the meeting, Witkoff urged Netanyahu to accept key compromises necessary for an agreement, the two Arab officials on Monday told The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity. Neither Witkoff nor Netanyahu’s office responded to requests for comment.

On Monday night — two days after the Jerusalem meeting — Israeli and Hamas negotiating teams notified mediators that they accepted the hostage deal proposal in principle, the two officials said. The sides have since been working to finalize the details regarding the implementation of the agreement.

The Biden Administration's incompetence is highlighted yet again.

Joe Biden couldn't sway a dead stump in a mud bog.

Here we go, giving trump credit for shit he doesn't deserve credit for.

HA HA HA. You deserve credit for showing yourself as the biggest idiot in this forum. Pheeew!

Hamas laughed at Biden. They feared Trump.
NUTSHELL.

If Trump has been president these last four years, not only would have the hostages been released within weeks, Oct 7th would not have occurred at all.

We paid a tremendous price for the election the Dems stole in 2020.

The people who were there are far, far more credible that some butthurt little internet bitch.

If Trump was President the hostages that were never taken because Oct 7th never occurred were released in mere weeks.

You now are on the Arab propaganda team?

^^^ What nonsense is this Jew-hater spewing now? Oye.

 

[Rigby5]

The Arabs obviously have no "propaganda team" or else the people in the US would never have allowed the illegal and immoral Zionist takeover of Palestine from the natives.

The last time anyone has been abused as badly as the native Palestinians, was the Turkish genocide of the Armenians.

 

[Matted Joybeard]

^^^ What nonsense is this Jew-hater spewing now? Oye.

You said the hostages would have been released in weeks and there never would have been an Oct 7th if Trump was at the helm. How can there be hostages to release if there never was an October 7th? Didn't you mean to say there never would have been hostages?

 

[Rigby5]

^^^ What nonsense is this Jew-hater spewing now? Oye.

Wrong.
What he is saying is that without a war monger in the White House, negotiations could have prevented any violence being necessary.
If you look at the history of Biden, Hillary, and Obama, they spread the war or takeover to Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, the Ukraine, Syria, the Ukraine, etc.
Sell weapons is very profitable, especially when they are paid for with taxpayer money.

The problem is people are assuming Biden wanted to prevent violence, and it is more likely his benefactors profit from violence and want more of it.

No, that’s not what I said.

That guy was there. You were not. Your mindless screeches of NUH UH are meaningless.

So you support the Arabs, and you want the end of Israel, and you want the extermination of the Jews.

Which Lisa? And what did she say?

No, I am not a leftist. I am a normal person.
