Israel’s Security Cabinet has agreed to meet Tuesday morning to discuss a new ceasefire plan on the Gaza Strip, tentatively set to begin at 9:00 AM on Tuesday. The plan is the first meaningful attempt to end a week of violence that has left nearly 200 Palestinians dead.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh says he has yet to receive the details of the proposal, but that he is prepared to discuss the ceasefire, and doesn’t want any further escalation of violence. He did however rule out any concessions on the part of the Palestinians. Other Hamas officials suggested they would oppose any ceasefire that didn’t include terms for a broader truce.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is supporting the proposal as well, and asking the cabinet to vote in favor of a ceasefire. There are some outspoken opponents of the deal, however.
Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon is not only against the ceasefire, but angry that it was even proposed, saying Egypt’s proposal was a “slap in the face to the citizens of Israel.”
Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett has also promised to vote against the deal, saying he wants a full-scale military invasion of the strip and will accept nothing less. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman also vowed a “no” vote.
The devil is in the details… According to Haaretz news, one of Israel's demands is for Hamas to get rid of (surrender) it's rockets…
Hamas will surrender rockets when Israel give up its Nukes, and stops receiving financial aid from the USA. Israel wants everyone but themselves to be subdued, hamstrung, and toothless.
Oh, Bob, you're just being silly now- everybody knows Israel doesn't have nuclear weapons! Haven't they told us as much for the last 50 or so years? Surely we can trust them, can't we?
Israel isn't going to be happy until it makes so many enemies it has no choice BUT to fight for its very existence- and then there will survivors who will again raise the banner of victimhood and the charade will begin anew.
And the rest of the world will sleep better once Israel is subdued, hamstrung, and toothless.
Like a wild animal needs to be put down so it ends it's carnage. You can't ask it nicely.
I feel sorry for any people or nation that need to be on the whipping end of the racist jewish state. Negotiate? With these inhuman, child-killing kosher monsters? Smart people wouldn't trust them further than they can throw them.
The Jewish Frankenstein needs Palestinian blood to survive. It needs to keep killing or people stop paying attention to it. Not much different than a serial killer begging to be caught and put out of his misery.
How many ceasefire Israel needs to have, how many destructive and killing action Israel must take before any ceasefire achieved? From the English past and present government to Swedish past and present to German Christian democrats to entire NATO countries government to past and present USG are guilty by acting on behalf of Israelis killings and destructive masseurs that been taking place for last 60 years. Their support have continued where Israel given free hand to do more of harm, braking thousands of times the rules of international laws and acting against humanity as savages and barbarians with modern arms in their hand, what is different between Israel and all these governments and ISIS is how they appear not how they act which is the reason for Israel and these governments supporting Saudis and their newly formed caliphate regime from 600EC.
