To mock and cast doubt on the date set for today's ceasefire negotiations, which coincidentally fell on Thursday, and not to detract from the cultural connotations and synonyms of liberation from restrictions for the end of the week, among many peoples, especially the Gulf.

Today, Thursday, is the date that has been awaited for more than a week, to hold negotiations described as decisive, hosted by Doha, with the participation of all relevant parties, with the exception of the PLO, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, to discuss scenarios for reaching the desired exchange deal and ending the war, while Netanyahu accepts the first clause with conditions, and rejects the second because he has not yet had his fill of blood.

Today's negotiations carry more losing bets than optimistic expectations.

The fox, intoxicated by American support and international silence on his daily crimes, will not voluntarily seek to extinguish a fire that feeds his desires, satisfies his ambitions, strengthens his allies, and enhances his position in opinion polls that add to his balance what is deducted from the balance of his opponents who are confused by his matter. The fox is adept at jumping over tightropes to achieve his goals, foremost among which is keeping the fire burning and adding new firewood to it by opening fronts, or inviting their opening by his rough harassment of them, in order to prolong his stay in power.

Staying in power requires selling his audience a fake product, and there is nothing more popular and frightening than the existential threat posed by the “Iranian enemy,” and giving a religious hue to the deceptive narrative that would strengthen his alliances and align around his apparent and hidden agendas, while our people in Gaza continue to eat their death and suffer their pain.

Today, Thursday, as much as it received attention, anticipation and sanctification, it also carries the harbingers of another setback, and a day of gossip and deception over the river of blood that has been flowing, without stopping, in the sector besieged by the Holocaust for ten months.
