The Spin


Pro-Israel narrative

Israel has serious concerns about the Hamas disarmament deal, which it has shared with the White House. If Israel withdraws from Gaza before Hamas truly disarms, it would quickly expand its presence in Gaza, rebuild its terror infrastructure and threaten Israeli communities.

Pro-Palestine narrative

Israel's attacks in Gaza, which wiped out whole families, are a deliberate effort to undermine the agreements reached between intermediaries. International representatives and guarantors of the deal are called upon to pressure Israel into sticking to its commitments and to hold it accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
