1 Explains this:
Israel ‘rejects’ Trump’s 15-point peace plan for Gaza, Netanyahu says

2 ^Because:
(a) Because it's not Trump's Plan - it's Qatari/Paki/Ottoman plan, which allows Hamas to rebuild.
(2) And if it was Trump's plan - who appointed him G*d?

3 I don’t understand your request, Penguin. Your entire article is an explanation, as is the posted article above.

All negotiations were between America, Qatar, Egypt, (some others), and Hamas. Israel was explicitly not invited, just informed of the outcome, and her repeatedly stated and written objections have been ignored or soothed with promises not kept.

The only thing Israel has gotten out of the negotiations is all the hostages back, including the non-Jewish Israelis, Americans, and other foreigners — which was a necessary precondition, which would in theory give Israel freedom to prosecute the war unhindered — and a break to rest and rearm a bit, and even that included endless, cruel Hamas games that dragged the whole thing out long past supposedly fixed deadlines that were promised to be off-ramps if not met.

6 :-) <— Grom.

My apologies, Penguin — you said Explains this, not Explain this, a very different thing. You already came up with the same answer we did.

7 Exactly "Explains this" not "Explain this". The article explains why Israel rejected the plan. My fault for not writing it out for the perusal of the hungover.

13 I don't comment on internal Israeli politics, because I don't live there or really understand them. Reading MSM doesn't make me an expert. Or Reflective.

15 Whereas I may comment in anything that catches my interest, whether or not I’m qualified to have an opinion. ;-) I sometimes remember to try to be tactful…
