Biden signals there could be a truce in Gaza soon but Israel and Hamas indicate no deal is imminent

1. Facing Michigan primary situation Biden wants to be positive but there is no way Israel and Hamas will get aligned.

Netanyahu can't stop the war until he can declare "total victory" which means hostages returned and Hamas completely annihilated-- or he is out of office. He is probably out of office anyway but that is his only shot and he will delay that until the last Palestinian is dead or homeless and many more IDF soldiers die or are wounded. And Hamas won't play seriously as the hostages are their only leverage against total destruction not that that is proving to be a working strategy. But they will pretend to play so Qatar and other Arab countries don't completely cut them loose and stop giving safe haven to the leadership. Sadly, much of the Hamas/Israel dynamic now is not about the Palestinian or Israeli people or their chance at a better future, it is about desperate cornered leaders wanting to stay in power. So tragic!
