Reuters was among the news outlets to repeat Hamas propaganda Monday as Israel prepared to enter Rafah. Hamas, which has rejected every ceasefire deal yet, was reported to have agreed to a ceasefire deal brokered by Egypt and Qatar. “There is a ceasefire on the table. A path to peace is in front of us. We must stay strong in our demands to end Netanyahu’s violence,” tweeted Hamas Caucus member Rep. Jamaal Bowman.

According to a Reuters source, Hamas had agreed to the proposal that Israel had made on April 27, without any “major changes.” There were major changes, all made unilaterally by Hamas, so of course Hamas announced to the media that they’d accepted a ceasefire deal and that “the ball was in Israel’s court.”

It turns out Hamas was willing to release some of the hostages it’s still holding, with the condition that they might not all be alive.

Ben Shapiro summed up the New York Times’ account of the “minor changes” to the deal:

Hamas recently posted a proof-of-life video of an American hostage who happened to be missing an arm.

And you’ve got useful idiots like Bowman and Sen. Elizabeth Warren calling for Benjamin Netanyahu to end “his” war.

“Let me repeat this, Hamas DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 33 live hostages to give. Rafah is the ONLY option.”

And this is the deal that Hamas came up with so the media could report that Israel turned down a peace deal.
