    I heard something in June about him trying to set up a cease-fire to arrange a truce, but it seemed like a low-effort attempt that never went anywhere. That’s probably the best we’ll get out of him, unfortunately.

      they’ve pulled that several times and they were never serious attempts. the key sticking point is always that Hamas wants a permanent ceasefire and Israel insists that it gets the prerogative to start shooting again when they feel like it. he’s never put any real pressure on Israel to agree to anything less; the weapons and money flow unconditionally.
