In a statement, Hamas claimed several reasons for its decision: the new conditions and demands presented recently by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza that killed dozens of Palestinians, many of them civilians.
“In light of this, and out of concern and responsibility towards our people and their interests, the movement calls on the mediators to submit a plan to implement what they presented to the movement and approved on July 2, based on Biden’s vision and [UN] Security Council resolution,” Hamas said in its statement.
The group said additional rounds of negotiations or discussing new proposals “provide cover for the occupation’s aggression.”
Israel hasn’t even bothered showing up to these ceasefire talks, while HAMAS offered to permanently disband. Why bother negotiating against yourself when the other party doesn’t even show up?
This reads more like Hamas saying Israel has already agreed to some terms, and wants to see action. I don’t blame them for rejecting more talks if there’s no action.
Also, I can’t stand this article format.
Yeah, I’m not a big fan of Axios either, but in this case, it seemed like an okay source.

Why are they not being destroyed en masse anyway? They shouldn’t be able to say anything because they’re too busy pushing up daisies. When a people group is just evil we shouldn’t look for how they respond to certain demands we (as a planet, not necessarily our country) should focus on just preventing their ability to breathe. They’re useless and we’re better without them.
