Palestinians Thought a Cease-Fire Had Been Clinched. Then the Tanks Rolled In.

Hours after Israel’s military told them to seek a new place of safety, Gazans in the southern city of Rafah took to the streets Monday night to celebrate: At the 11th hour, Hamas said it had accepted a proposal for a cease-fire. People cheered. Sweets were passed around. 

A few hours later, it became clear that the celebrations were premature. The agreement accepted by Hamas turned out to be a counteroffer that Israel hadn’t seen and wouldn’t agree to, shattering hopes of an imminent end to months of hostilities.

    They'll be celebrating when they discover that Biden has decreassed that Israel is only allowed to fight with Hamas if it kills no civilians, otherwise he'll cut the weapon supply off.
