> Did you hear a single call by any country for Hamas to surrender? I didn't.

US, UK, France, Germany, Italy in a joint message: https://it.usembassy.gov/joint-statement-on-israel/

Spain: https://www.politico.eu/article/pedro-sanchez-spain-humanita...

Italy, France, Germany ask for EU sanctions to force Hamas surrender: https://www.reuters.com/world/italy-france-germany-call-ad-h...

Secretary of State calls out other countries for not demanding Hamas to surrender: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/20/politics/blinken-israel-hamas...

You should expand your media diet.

Except for the Sec of State no other article is calling for a surrender.

The first one condemns the attacks two days after. The second one is "Humanitarian cease-fire", and condemning Hamas for attacks - Not a call to surrender. The third one is sanctions.

I'm not seeing the call to surrender in your links. I'm seeing sanctions. I think parent is asking for explicit calls that Hamas surrenders (i.e. lays down their arms and returns the hostages). Not a ceasefire, a surrender.

The first two links are just weak platitudes. The 3rd link is a year old and the sanctions never happened. The last one is just Blinken talking, not a serious demand.

So I maintain what I said.
