CIA Director Bill Burns has been working for months to broker a ceasefire deal that would involve the release of the hostages who have remained in Hamas\u2019s custody in the months since a November truce and exchange. U.S. diplomats drafted a ceasefire resolution intended to \u201cput pressure on Hamas to accept the deal on the table,\u201d as Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield argued.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>China and Russia vetoed that proposal, but the U.S. declined to return the favor when faced Monday with a resolution that did not make an explicit link between a ceasefire and a hostage deal. Nevertheless, Secretary of State Antony Blinken\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-federal-investigators-reveal-likely-reason-for-helicopter-crash-that-killed-kobe-bryant\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Federal Investigators Reveal Likely Reason For Helicopter Crash That Killed Kobe Bryant\">team argued<\/a> that the alternative proposal made an adequate link between the two priorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA ceasefire can begin immediately with the release of the first hostage,\u201d Thomas-Greenfield said after the vote. \u201cAnd so, we must put pressure on Hamas to do just that.\u00a0This is the only path to securing a ceasefire and the release of hostages, as we have all called for today. That is what this resolution means, a ceasefire of any duration must come with the release of hostages. This is the only path.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh offered a very different gloss on Tuesday while visiting Iran, the archenemy of Israel and the patron of multiple terrorist proxies on Israel\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough this resolution came late and there may be some gaps that need to be filled, the resolution itself indicates that the Israeli occupation is experiencing unprecedented political isolation,\u201d\u00a0Haniyeh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/hamas-leader-speaks-iran-israel-124037200.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>said<\/a> in Tehran.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh speaks during a press briefing after his meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian in Tehran, Iran, Tuesday, March 26, 2024.

U.S. officials maintain that they have a plan for Israel to dismantle Hamas without launching a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-democracies-perish\/\" title=\"How Democracies Perish\">major military operation<\/a> that would exacerbate humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties, but Israeli officials counter that they will lose the war unless they attack Rafah.<\/p>\n<p>If Dermer\u2019s trip to Washington had proceeded as planned, a discussion of the U.S. proposal would have been at the top of the agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat message is it going to send to Hamas that the day after the Americans separate these two issues and say, you know what, you can have a ceasefire without hostage negotiations, and then the United States is presenting its proposal on how we should not go into Rafah,\u201d Dermer said. \u201cThat\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/giuliani-points-out-major-problem-with-mail-in-ballots-in-pennsylvania-only-1-8-mail-in-ballots-were-sent-out-but-2-5-million-were-counted-video\/\" title=\"Giuliani Points Out Major Problem with Mail-In Ballots in Pennsylvania: Only 1.8 Mail-In Ballots Were Sent Out - But 2.5 Million Were Counted (VIDEO)\">real big problem<\/a>, and that\u2019s why the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/british-pm-sold-out-fish-in-brexit-trade-deal-fishermen-say\/\" title=\"British PM sold out fish in Brexit trade deal, fishermen say\">prime minister made<\/a> the right decision to stop the delegation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cancellation of Dermer\u2019s trip did not halt Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant\u2019s separate visit.
