Damning indictment of the last administration from one of Israel's back-channel negotiators, who says this same agreement was on the table a year ago, but Biden and his advisors wouldn't take it.
Trump doesn't get off easy either, as Baskin says he could have forced Netanyahu to take a deal at any point in the last nine months. https://blogs.timesofisrael.co...
@BMarchetich No deal with hamas. In the end, hezbollah was beaten, Assad fled syria, Iran's nukes are gone and gaza is destroyed. I guess oct 7th wasnt worth it
@BMarchetich @mehdirhasan Stop. You guys always have to blame somebody else.
@BMarchetich are they "the same" or are they just the same in the elements this particular israeli thinks are important. seems like israelis probably disagree on what matters, and this explains why he says this more than specific biden/trump stuff
@BMarchetich hamas should have offered better terms then? this person claims they were offering the same deal, but doesnt that assume this person isnt just picking the elements he thinks are important. there are elements in todays that seem very different to me
@BMarchetich “Back channel negotiator” who was only negotiating with one side??? Sounds a lot like he’s just a regular ass hamasnik The architect of the Gilead Shalit deal btw A man fully responsible for the wave of terror that followed
@BMarchetich Because they needed the pro Palestinian leftists to be hot and bothered and keep protesting. More chaos the better for the “peaceful left”.
@BMarchetich Better question if Biden takes this deal, does Kamala win?
@BMarchetich Sorry. It is CLEARLY written there that Israel was not accepting it. Biden agreeing b to it or not, it still would go nowhere if Israel was not on board. It's disingenuous to put this on Biden. Blame the REAL villain- Netanyahu.
@BMarchetich Doesn't the fine print indicate that the Netanyahu government declined to accept the proposal?
@BMarchetich It's fucking Bidens plan and it fucking sucks. It changes nothing.
@BMarchetich @Musa_alGharbi Guy is known to be full of shit.
@BMarchetich Biden admin never pushed for a ceasefire. This was confirmed by the Israeli Ambassador to the US who stated that they could not have had a more supportive administration. The bulk of this genocide was done under Biden, Blinken, McGurk etc.
@BMarchetich Jesus Christ. That senile bastard really let this all come down to Brett fucking McGurk. What a waste.
@BMarchetich @mehdirhasan Yeah Biden is Israel’s bitch as well.
@BMarchetich @kwithallthecats Since the Israelis aren’t even trying to stick to it What 😮 difference did it make. I’m not defending The previous guy,but it seems like the Israelis aren’t interested in peace. ✌🏾
@BMarchetich Biden was ideologically committed to never disagreeing with Israel and so were his people. Their baked-in passivity meant they couldn’t tell Netanyahu the game was up, as Trump apparently did.
@BMarchetich Backchannel negotiator from (checks notes) *Israel* says it’s Biden’s fault that Israel would not take the deal? Have I got that right?
@BMarchetich WTAF, @brett_mcgurk????
@BMarchetich Imagine taking Baskin seriously
@BMarchetich @tparsi US administrations are occupied by that country
@BMarchetich I guess that's their idea of working tirelessly to achieve a ceasefire.
@BMarchetich @mehdirhasan To be clear… Your claiming that Israel back-channel negotiators are blaming Biden for a deal not being done in September 2024 that Israel did not support? To call this a stretch is not doing it justice. Bibi made it clear in July 2024 that he wanted Trump to win the
@BMarchetich I'm happy at least knowing that old bastard is alive to his name become a byword for failure.
@BMarchetich How dumb do you need to be to believe this? Biden spends ten months getting hammered over a lack of peace plan and his successor is getting screamed at for the same reason, and he just decides not to accept a deal a month before the election? This is pure bullshit dude.
@BMarchetich Hasan beats his dog, that is all.
@BMarchetich @mehdirhasan This actually says Israel wouldn’t accept the deal. Nice try. Not everything is Biden’s fault despite your best intentions.
@BMarchetich Why did The United States have to be involved again? 😂
