🇺🇸🇵🇸⚡️- Biden has voiced his support for "Palestinian self-determination."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "We are working to ensure that Israel lives up to their obligations. That's what this deal says. We will do our part. This is truly a decisive moment."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "Hamas needs to take the deal. For months, people all over the world have called for a ceasefire. Now it's time to raise your voices and demand that Hamas comes to the table and agrees to this deal, and ends the war that they started."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "The Palestinian people have endured sheer hell in this war. Too many innocent people have been killed in this war, including thousands of children."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "Even as we work to deliver aid to Gaza, the humanitarian crisis still remains."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "The United States has worked relentlessly to ensure Israeli security and bring an end to this war. Yesterday, with this new initiative, we've taken an important step in that direction. I want to level with you today, as to where we are and what might be possible. Everyone who wants peace now must raise their voices and let the leaders know that they should take the deal- make it real and lasting."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden: "It's time for this war to end."

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Biden has finished his speech.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 - Some commentary from admin: Israel is NOT going to accept this deal.

Hamas is very likely to accept this deal, as it is in their interest to move towards peace and remove Israel from Gaza. At the same time, Israel's government is using this as an excuse to wipe out all of its regional adversaries, and Israel simply won't tolerate this roadblock to their geopolitical ambitions. With Israel on the verge of attacking Lebanon to defeat Hezbollah, we find it highly unlikely for Israel to accept the deal.

If Israel does accept the deal, there will be a great crisis inside Israel.

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Israeli channels are very unhappy about Biden's speech.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: Right wing Israeli media accuse Biden of being 'antisemitic' for giving the the speech on a Saturday, the Shabbat (rest day) for Jews, because Netanyahu and his allies cannot respond to the speech for the next 24 hours
