Withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas in Gaza
So the IDF is going to put up a fence around Rafah to turn it into the world's largest cage so they can claim they're adhering to the terms of the proposal?
I mean, they have already done that and it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination for Israel to argue that Rafah, which is a mere 64 km², is the only populated part of Gaza and thus they're going to help themselves to the rest.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, views positively the contents of President Joe Biden's speech today, 31/05/2024, in which he called for a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, reconstruction, and the exchange of prisoners. We consider this American position and the reinforced conviction on the regional and international stage of the necessity to put an end to the war on Gaza to be the result of the legendary steadfastness of our struggling people and their brave resistance.
The movement reaffirms its readiness to engage positively and constructively with any proposal based on a permanent ceasefire, complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, reconstruction, the return of displaced persons to all their homes, and a serious prisoner exchange deal, provided the occupation declares its explicit commitment to this.

In his speech, Biden said that Israel already agreed to it. If that prune actually pulls off a peace deal I might stop pissing on everyone's Biden Harris signs, at least during daylight hours. That's a joke, obviously. Literally no one near me has Biden Harris signs out
What Palestinians are experiencing: targeted murder, rape, sent to a concentration camp, live burying, mass murdering, force separation of child and family, tortures
From the BBC it sounds like hes already rejected it
Netanyahu releases statement A statement has just been released from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office.
It says he has authorised the Israeli negotiating team to "present an outline" for achieving the release of all hostages.
However, the statements goes on to say the war in Gaza will not end until all goals - including the "elimination" of Hamas's armed wing and organisational capacities - are achieved.
itcontinues: "The exact outline proposed by Israel, including the conditional transition from stage to stage, allows Israel to maintain these principles."
Is Biden cogent enough to realise the level of political humiliation this is?
Honestly it's getting increasingly weird that no one is acting. The USA being cowards I get, but Israel has just broken it's own treaty and occupied the Egyptian side of the buffer zone. I'm honestly shocked that the arab states have kept restraint.
It "gives the protestors what they want", making it sound like the empires idea, and bides time for Israel to recoup, while potentially deflating the movement.
Obviously I want an end, but Israel needs to leave, otherwise it's just a pause in death.
Palestinian civilians can return to their homes in Gaza
Are contradictory statements that are probably going to result in more Palestinians being murdered by Israeli Occupation Forces and being able to say, "We though the areas were not populated."
