[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 5926860, member: 45230"] It looks like the US is saying Israel accepted the agreement but nothing coming directly from Israel about it. Hamas released a statement welcoming the adoption of the resolution and stating it was ready to work with mediators in indirect negotiations with Israel to implement it. Curiously, Gilad Erdan, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, did not address the Security Council as planned, even though he was present in the council chamber for part of the meeting. Instead, senior Israeli diplomat Reut Shapir Ben Naftaly told the council that Israel’s war aims have been “very clear” from the start: “To bring all our hostages back home and to dismantle Hamas’ capabilities…and ensure that Gaza does not pose a threat to Israel in the future.” Vasily Nebenzya, Russia’s U.N. envoy, said it was not clear what Israel had actually committed to. “Hamas is called upon to accept this so-called deal, but still there is no…clarity regarding official agreement from Israel,” said Nebenzia. ”Given the many statements from Israel on the extension of the war until Hamas is completely defeated…what specifically has Israel agreed to?” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.jns.org/unsc-passes-resolution-on-biden-ceasefire-plan/?utm_source=wnd&utm_medium=wnd&utm_campaign=syndicated[/URL] [/QUOTE]
