Well, howdy there internet people, Lidsboo again.

So today we are going to talk about negotiations,

how they're progressing, if they're progressing,

what's happening, public statements, and we're going to answer a question.

Now I try very, very hard to answer the question that is asked when people send in messages.

Can't do that with this one because there's an assumption baked into the question that may not be true.

And it's really important to understand that as all of this progresses.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about. There are a lot of reports that suggest that the

Palestinian side has basically been like, yeah, we don't care about negotiations.

We're not negotiating anymore.

You're going to call a ceasefire before we even talk

about captives or prisoners or hostages or whatever term you want to use.

You're calling the ceasefire on your own and then we'll negotiate.

Okay. And that of course has surprised some people.

Here's one question.

What are they doing?

I marched for a ceasefire.

Now they're refusing to negotiate?

WTF.

Why? Why are they doing this?

Okay, you don't know that they are.

Start there.
