Daily Sabah Finds Hamas 'Ready for Truce,' Israel Too Busy Bombing
Türkiye announces Hamas is ready for a "lasting truce." One might wonder why, after months of devastating bombardment, the onus for peace always appears to fall on the oppressed. What the Daily Sabah (and most mainstream outlets) gloss over is Israel's consistent pattern of rejecting genuine peace efforts. Recall, in 2014, similar calls for a lasting truce were met with continued escalation.
Israel's leadership, from Netanyahu in 2002 to now, has shown a remarkable ability to frame any concession as an existential threat, often just as more U.S. military aid arrives. Meanwhile, in Washington, politicians like Senator Lindsey Graham, who received $20,800 from AIPAC in 2022-2024 (OpenSecrets.org), continue to champion unconditional aid to Israel, effectively greenlighting any rejection
of a lasting truce. When one side is funded to the tune of $3.8 billion annually by the U.S. (official figures, Fiscal Year 2024) and has its actions consistently protected by UN vetoes, how 'ready' for a truce does it truly need to be? The 'peace process' becomes a convenient distraction while the facts on the ground change by the day. It's a miracle Hamas is 'ready for truce' when Israel seems
merely ready for more land.
