I think there is little to no trust between the parties.
I imagine that even with a ceasefire there is a real risk that as long as Netanyahu and his
right wing government are in power. They will break it whenever they please. They will make
up some reason. Maybe a three-year-old gave them a nasty look or picked up a rock.
There will need to be neutral observers allowed in and journalists, to create transparency
and trust.
I can’t see it holding unless both parties are made to follow international law and participate
in reconciliation, like they did in Rwanda.
That’s possible. The difference is the agreement would put Biden in direct oversight of Israel. He currently has a Congress that voted in favor of aid, and a State Department that submitted an inconclusive report of war crimes. If Netanyahu breaks the agreement or negotiates in bad faith, Biden would have full authority to amend the munitions agreements without facing impeachment. We’d finally see if he’s been honest in his words of accountability. I’d like to know if it’s been bullshit or if he’s truly been following the advisement of the rest of the government.

Awful idea since he’s long since made his undying fealty to the fascist apartheid regime clear.

Just like he had before Netanyahu, AIPAC, and the other American politicians they own threw a hissy fit over his extremely inadequate temporary halt of exactly one weapon after actively sending more weapons than Congress had already approved for months.
We’d finally see if he’s been honest in his words of accountability.
He’s already made that abundantly clear to anyone paying even halfway close attention.
I see where you’re coming from. I agree that he’s very loyal to Israel. I’m not as certain that he wants to be supporting the slaughter of innocent Palestinians. With Biden’s cease-fire in place, it would at least put the responsibility of accountability directly on him if Netanyahu breaches the agreement.
