what makes this a good deal?
I need you to explain something to me, about the current deal on the table, but the same really applies to all the deals that have been out there and that likely will be out there in the future.
When negotiating a deal, both sides have to be incentivized to agree to it - each side has to feel like it is gaining something, getting what it needs, to be able to agree.
President Trump announced a deal on the way and Israel went and negotiated with Trump to make sure certain clauses and terms would be included so Israel could live with it. PM Netanyahu has said he accepts it because Israel's concerns are taken care of in this arrangement and can live with Hamas being exiled or whatever specifics arent exactly what Israel wanted. Fair enough.
And now we wait for Hamas to "study the proposal" and return with a response.
What in this deal, or in any deal, is included that would make Hamas agree to it and feel they got something they want and need?
From a negotiations perspective why should or would Hamas accept this deal, or any deal Israel agrees to? Any deal Israel agrees to basically does away with Hamas. Why would they ever agree to that? What has any of these deals offered Hamas as incentive to agree? All these deals have been win-lose from Hamas perspective. Technically it is a good deal (maybe) for the people of Gaza but Hamas doesn't care about that - what is there that would encourage Hamas to agree to this and that they can see as being beneficial to them?
Offering a deal that has no chance of being accepted by the other side because it offers them nothing beneficial is not really a solution. Maybe just saying we won't kill them all but will let them leave is enough for them, though we know that so far that has not been enough.
Please explain. I get why this is a good deal from our side, but why do we think would Hamas ever agree to that? Maybe it is enough that Qatar might pressure them to. Maybe not
Meaning, an Israeli I want us to win and not Hamas and come out of this on top. But if we are offering them a deal, what's the point if we are not offering them something they can point to as a win for them? They simply wont accept it.

The deal is predicated on the assumption that Hamas wants the suffering in Gaza to end. Now you know they don't, and I know they don't and Bibi knows they don't but the deluded West really believes that Hamas doesn't want Gaza to suffer and it's all Israel's fault.
ReplyDeleteSo here's the newest deal. It's fair to Israel, it's fair to Gaza and it calls for the end of Hamas as a fighting force which no one not consumed by Jew hatred (cough, cough, France, Britain, Canada, Turkey, etc.) could argue with.
So the potention set up is that Israel agrees (they have), the Arabs agree (they have) and Hamas rejects it. At that point the US can look at its allies and say "If you're calling for Israel to unilaterally surrender to Hamas and if they don't, you'll boycott them, then we'll punish you because clearly it's 100% Hamas at fault." It's about the US providing legitimacy for Israel to continue fighting.
Comes a time that even the biggest bully has to surrender. So there might not be anything there for them, but they will have no choice, all it takes is not getting any more $$$ from Qatar to pay their fighters (maybe they will get kolel money from neturey karta).
ReplyDeleteHaha! That’s awesome
