Israel to continue ceasefire discussions for Lebanon, Netanyahu says

[moniss]

This is the headline from a Reuters story running this morning 9/27. Many doubt whether this is sincere or just the playbook we have seen before of dragging things out while the fighting goes on. Or did he feel he had to "make a gesture" since he just got another huge chunk of money? Time will tell but Lady Hope isn't springing eternal much more in this matter.

1. Dragging it out is the right term. If a significant agreement is reached and ready for signing...

a sudden hostile act always seems to occur that shuts it down.

2. Yes indeed the Saudi Foreign Minister

is quoted this morning as saying they are putting together a new "coalition" of countries to impose a 2 state solution. So when the US says no to the "plan" at the Security Council because of "reasons" that will be the end of the SA "coalition". I get so sick of all of these various parties talking their crap about how they all want to get along and then the fighting goes on back and forth for decades and decades and decades.

3. Agreed. Many factors at work. Arms manufacturers withing nations make money during wars...

bad actors in nations avoid war crime trials, the charades continue on and on.
