The diplomatic rift between the US and Israel is growing wider after Hamas said it accepted a ceasefire deal – one whose terms Israel says the US hid from them.
Israeli officials told Axios the Biden administration failed to brief them on the proposal before Hamas announced its acceptance on Monday, despite prior assurances of transparency.
A senior US official disputed the claim, saying, “American diplomats have been engaged with Israeli counterparts. There have been no surprises.”
However, Israeli officials express deep disappointment and harbor suspicion, potentially hindering future negotiations.
The proposal, negotiated by Egypt and Qatar, was presented to Hamas without Israel’s knowledge, according to Israeli officials. They claim the US, including CIA Director Bill Burns, was aware of the new proposal but didn’t inform Israel. This perceived lack of transparency has led to feelings of mistrust, with some Israeli officials believing “Israel got played” by the US and mediators.
A US official said that the proposal was seen as a counter-proposal, not a new one, and emphasized the complexity of the negotiations conducted through intermediaries in Doha and Cairo, in explaining why they didn’t brief Israel about it.
The unnamed official again praised Israel’s late April proposal as “the most forward-leaning proposal to date” and urged Hamas to release hostages to secure a ceasefire.

ceasefire. ceasefire. ceasefire. ceasefire.
what a misnomer for “the release of 1200 murderers”.
“the most forward-leaning proposal to date”
that mean how far forward bibi is bowing to hamas.
This “administration” wants to eclipse Carter’s as the most hateful toward Israel. What can one expect from an Obama puppet?
Yup
Biden for sure has Israel’s back
UncleMo, the worst administration for Israel to date was neither 0bama/Biden nor Carter, but the Republican Eisenhower.
It’s time for Israel to escape this codependent relationship it has with America. The second it does, it can pursue relationships with China and Russia because their antagonism is rooted in Israel having America as an “ally.”
To quote the great Donald Trump. Any Jew who votes democrat has to have his head examined. Wake up people! Where your brains?? This been going on forever. Now it’s coming out. Why we all being so dumb?? We’re supposed to be the smartest people in the world!
what is there to say. Biden has no scruples. A corrupt and pathological liar. His wealth is ill begotten. Even his wife was taken from another man; he dated her while she was married to someone else. He is the most cowardly, corrupt, and dishonest man to ever serve as president.
Why aren’t our resident brown-shirts posting to defend this useless turd Brandon, their anti-Semitic, woke high priest?
Hmm. Why does the following notion ring in my mind? CIA director’s name should be amended to William (will) Burn in a very, very hot place for his duplicity…
It’s always important to read between the lines.
How much of this is just noise to keep much of the anti-war complainers & Arab rulers with a restless population feeling like they’re accomplishing something when they really are not?
Look at the level of devastation in Gaza until now & the majority of statements by Biden & his administration. How much Gelt was approved for Israel? How many weapons have been delivered to Israel?
Stopping a shipment of ammunition is another bone thrown to the Anti-Israelis. Israel makes its own ammunition. Do you think Israel doesn’t have enough ammunition in storage to fight a major war much less an operation in Rafah?
Relax & let the Hamas supporters gloat in their pyrrhic victories.
Illegitimate China-owned Administration
Chazal say if לב מלאכים ושרים ביד השם so why was Paroh punished like he was? The answer is very simply he didn’t have to go so far and לפנים משורת הדין. He could have come up with a different way to enslave the yiddin. The fact that he went overboard is why he was punished.
Sleepy Sleazy Joe Biden can say the same thing. If לב מלאכים ושרים ביד השם then it’s not my fault. The answer is, yes, it is your fault. You could hate them on the outside but do whatever it is you can behind the scenes to make sure that EY does what it needs to do.
Bottom line is you’re going to gehenim for what you’ve been doing to EY. Enjoy the heat.
