The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
With the backing of both the US and UK, Israel has softened its stance significantly — dropping its demand from the release of 40 hostages to 33 in exchange for thousands of Palestinian prisoners and a truce that would last more than a month. Both sides desperately want a ceasefire, so it's time for Hamas to accept this generous offer.
Establishment-critical narrative
Israel isn't willingly making these offers, it's just being told to do so as public backlash increases. After decades of oppression and a deadly collective punishment since Oct 7, only a two-state solution can bring calm to the Middle East. Regional leaders have helped as much as they possibly could — now it's time for Israel to give a humanitarian hand.
