Egyptian Peace Proposal: Israel Accepts; Hamas Rejects
Click here for reuse options!The Israeli Security Cabinet met early Tuesday morning and reached a decision to halt aerial strikes beginning at 9 a.m. (2 a.m. ET).
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, even with the development, Israel wasn’t letting its guard down.
“If Hamas rejects the Egyptian proposal and the rocket fire from Gaza does not cease — and that appears to be the case — we are prepared to continue and intensify our operation and protect our people,” Netanyahu said three hours after the cease-fire began…
The plan calls for all sides to cease hostilities in Gaza. It also calls for the opening of border crossings, once the security situation is stable, and for high-level talks among those involved.
The response from Hamas’ military wing contradicted the one from its political wing…
Hamas’ military wing, the Qassam Brigades, dismissed any talk of a cease-fire, saying its battle with “the enemy” will “increase in ferocity and intensity.”
“We in the Al-Qassam Brigades reject altogether the proposal, which for us is not worth the ink that it was written with.”

AS long as Hamas is in control of Gaza, there will never be any peace. There have been many opportunities to find peace. But as long as they vow for the destruction of Israel, the Israeli’s will continue keep annexing land and placing more restrictive movements.
The Arab league can stop this with a universal recognition of Israels right to exist, and any member that does not sign on to it, and continues to support Hamas militarily and politically, will be viewed as a trader to peace.

I have the live feed alert on my phone for each time a rocket is incoming from Hamas. Hamas has been very busy firing into Israel and probably just hasn’t had the time.

Jeez, literally within a minute of writing the last post, another rocket was fired into Shaar Hanegev

It sure looks like the Palestinian people have been duped by Hamas. Hamas wants to fight and does care about peace or what is good for the people it claims to be fighting for. If Hamas really cared about the people it would not be hiding its warriors among the women and children.

I wish there was a double thumbs up for your post! As I was writing this response, two more rockets fired into Israel, Moatza Ezroit Hof Ashkelon and the Ashkelon industrial zone.
