U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Doha to discuss a ceasefire agreement aimed at securing the release of hostages and increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza. This follows Israel's recent rescue operation, which successfully freed four hostages held by Hamas since October 7. The operation, though hailed as heroic by some, has faced criticism and condemnation. The Israeli government is also under scrutiny for allegedly hiding soldiers in an aid truck, raising questions about its tactics. On June 13, Netanyahu's actions have prompted Biden to consider tough decisions on ending the Gaza war.

The latest from @JRubinBlogger: We get more clarity on the Israel-Hamas war https://t.co/l04WSdVWyq
We get it! @KenRoth is really angry that Israel's raid to free hostages worked, and he really wanted Hamas to have more bargaining chips. But just bc he lost this round doesn't mean he needs to make up "creative" new applications of law that have never been applied to anybody… https://t.co/RDgYsTbn1C

HA HA HA HA. Not only is Hamas-supporter @KenRoth terribly upset that Israel rescued 4 hostages successfully, but also the pro-Hamas @guardian gives him a page to say so. Seriously, @GdnReadersEd? The Guardian's agenda getting more than a bit disgusting https://t.co/47fnF4UuvA

My latest on why all US Jews must call out Israel's extremist government which has betrayed the hostages, vilified their families, alienated Israel's allies, calls to resettle Gaza and has no intention or vision about how to end the war. @haaretzcom https://t.co/NGtte9Yn6J
