The Democrats Keep Claiming A Peace Deal Is Ready. They have lied over and over again about what Netanyahu has said or planned. So here we go again…
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken hinted on Friday that a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict is on the horizon. His statement comes just ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington next week.
“I believe we’re inside the 10-yard line and driving toward the goal line in getting an agreement that would produce a cease-fire, get the hostages home, and put us on a better track to trying to build lasting peace and stability,” Blinken stated at the Aspen Security Forum.

Netanyahu’s scheduled visit on July 24 has stirred controversy, with over 200 congressional staffers signing a letter opposing his trip due to Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza. The U.S. Capitol Police have announced an increase in security ahead of his visit, where he is set to address Congress and meet with President Biden.
During the Aspen conference, Blinken stressed the necessity of a well-defined “day-after plan” to ensure sustainable peace. “We can’t have an agreement that’s followed by a void,” he remarked, cautioning against a scenario where Hamas could return, Israel prolongs its occupation, or chaos ensues due to a power vacuum.
This comes nearly two months after the Biden administration unveiled a three-part proposal aimed at securing a permanent cease-fire in Gaza and the release of over 120 hostages believed to be held by Hamas. Blinken reiterated that both sides have agreed to the president’s framework.

The plan’s initial phase calls for a six-week total cease-fire, including the withdrawal of Israeli troops from populated areas of the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages captured during the October 7 attack on Israel.
However, a recent legislative move in Israel could complicate matters. On Thursday, Israel’s legislature passed a resolution rejecting Palestinian statehood, a critical element of Biden’s plan. This development could pose a significant obstacle to reaching a cease-fire agreement.
In response, White House communication director John Kirby reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to a two-state solution, emphasizing its importance for enduring peace.
As Israel knows, if there is a two state solution, Israel will then face destruction by having a heavily armed neighbor out to destroy them, backed by a nuclear power about to develop their own weapons, Then throw in how the U.S. is now backing the killing of Jews via Biden’s massive support for the Palestinian Authority so they can pay their terrorists, whose photos line the streets. These ‘Martyrs’ kill Jews, and their families get a monthly welfare check, thanks to Biden and the Democrats and AMerican taxpayers footing the bill. The Middle East is a mess today entirely due to Biden, Obama and the Democrat Party that is playing and paying all sides. We pay Hamas to attack Israel, we pay Israel to shoot down Hamas rockets and fight Hamas, and we pay the P.A. to kill Jews and support their terrorist families. This is insanity on any level.
