Hamas terrorists kidnapped a sting attack dog during an operation in Jabaliya two weeks ago, disappeared it from the force for hours, and trapped it with explosive charges as a bomb dog - knowing that the fighters would look for it. The dog was eventually killed. The fighters discovered at the last moment that the dog was trapped in the explosives.

Intensive American efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza

American National Security Adviser, Jack Sullivan:

1. We are not referring to various statements in the various media regarding Hamas's response to the proposal. We are only waiting for the official answer from Hamas which will be delivered by the Qataris.

2. We continue to press the Israelis regarding an overall strategy to end the fighting.

3. We hope that Hamas will agree to the proposal as the best way to end the fighting , release the abductees and increase aid.

At the same time, Egyptian media are reporting the arrival in Cairo of a senior delegation of the Islamic Jihad headed by Ziad al-Nakhala, the movement's secretary general (who has not been seen in public for many weeks - AA).

Delegations of the Palestinian factions also arrived in Cairo, at the invitation of the Egyptian intelligence, including a delegation of the Popular Front led by the lieutenant, Jamila Mazhar.

The head of the CIA William Burns will arrive in Doha, Qatar to conduct the negotiations for a close deal.
Senior American officials are also in Cairo, at the same time as the heads of the Palestinian factions are being summoned by Egyptian intelligence.

The US is exerting its weight with Turkey so that it will put pressure on senior Hamas officials to agree to the deal.

The Biden administration is running a massive, multi-dimensional pressure cooker to advance the proposal announced by President Biden on Friday:
Pressure on Israel, pressure in Qatar, Egypt, Turkey...
But I still don't understand what changed...
The dispute between the parties is clear and stated:

Israel wants to continue the war as a condition for accepting the offer.

Hamas wants a declaration with guarantees of a permanent ceasefire.

It's black and white.

All around there is a particularly thick American smoke that tries to square the circle and in less subtle words:

to work on one of the parties so that he gives up on his very clear condition because without it there will be no deal.

To this end, the new marketing campaign was launched on Friday.

In the end it boils down, as mentioned, to only one thing: the war will be stopped completely or it will be possible to renew it.
