    As the article says, they’ve agreed to the framework. Next they need Hamas agreement, then they need to work on detail. It’s a positive step, not negative.

      As the article says

      No.

      A US official said they “have more or less accepted” it…

      I literally just quoted that part.

      Do you not understand how that’s different than what you’re claiming?

        It’s not different, it’s the way it works. Isreal signed off on the framework.

          No,

          "The Israelis have basically signed on to the elements of the arrangement,” the official said

          It’s very clear…

              Hold on, I just basically wrote you a check for 10 million dollars, go buy your dream home and tell the bank you’re good.

                The US State department has worked with both parties on successful ceasefire. I don’t see how this is different.

      No…. It’s a qualified statement. “Basically” is leaking an awful lot of water instead of carrying it.

      And “agreeing to a framework” is very different to actually agreeing to an actual ceasefire.

      The “official” is using an awful lot of words to say not-much.
