He's also calling for former President Barack Obama to lead the negotiations. You know, the guy who said we're all complicit in the Hamas-Israel war.
Twitter/X had thoughts:
Will it involve Israel sending terror sponsors pallets of cash?
— J (@ARaised_Eyebrow) November 7, 2023
Probably. Pallets of cash started this war.
Just as likely: IDF hands out ham and cheese sandwiches.

The odds of this are better, frankly.
Is he negotiating with Iran? https://t.co/AyOOS6yADA

Excellent question.
Who will be negotiating for America in such a meeting? https://t.co/cU3abOAz5u

Someone had to ask this. Obama certainly won't be.
That is hilarious. https://t.co/O5eSDlzi4h

They really are comedians.
“Humanitarian pause” is such a focused grouped term.

It will end up like every other ceasefire. Hamas will break it and then everyone will pretend that Israel should continue to honor it https://t.co/3J6ZgKrNP2
Exactly.
This is a funny thing to propose if you really hate Obama because 1) it takes him away from his Netflix and Spotify money and 2) his ego will not allow him to say no. https://t.co/9VdrCNwvFn

But Obama has an ego that would love the power that came with being the negotiator.
Obama had a notoriously contentious dynamic with Netanyahu when he was still in office. Highly doubtful the Israeli leader would be open to working alongside the former US president on this (even if Obama wanted to, which is also open to question) https://t.co/k82pTkdNa7
— John Haltiwanger (@jchaltiwanger) November 7, 2023
Obama has played his hand on where he stands on Israel.
This may be one of the dumbest ideas I've seen yet. https://t.co/8GE0PQWRu2

Yes it is. And that's saying something these days.
72 hours for Hamas to restock ammunition, consolidate their forces and hostages, and steal more aid from citizens.
— The Only Gary Johnson Stan (@colorblindk1d) November 7, 2023
That's what they'd do.
No

Our thoughts exactly.
Israel won't go for this, either. Not a chance.
