Israeli PM said to have turned down proposal in early talks and continues to take tough line
I’ll tell you a secret: he doesn’t want to get the hostages back yet. They’re serving as a casus belli right now.
won’t somebody think of the warmongers?
Hey, getting having a casus belli that can be passed around to buy you time to bomb a city long enough before someone intervenes, especially if you can’t singlehandedly deter many of the other armies to leave you alone, is a rare opportunity for small fish warmongers.
Found the Crusader Kings player
