With Israeli officials making much of their determination to see a more permanent settlement in the Gaza Strip after this latest round of warfare, Hamas is ponying up a dramatic proposal, seeking a 10-year truce agreement.
The agreement is a major proposal, seeking an end to the crippling blockade of the Gaza Strip as well as the release of large numbers of Palestinian detainees held without charges by Israeli forces.
The big goal is to see the international airport in Gaza and the seaport eventually reopened, under the management of the United Nations to ensure that they aren’t being used for arms smuggling. In return Israel would commit to not sending warplanes into Gaza airspace for 10 years, nor barring Gazans from leaving the strip to go to the al-Aqsa Mosque.
Israel has not responded to the proposal, reportedly submitted through Egypt, though the many hawkish officials in the right-far-right coalition make it difficult to reach any agreement that doesn’t include an open-ended military occupation or more Israeli airstrikes.
The Israeli will never accept that deal,an imminent threat have to be in place so as not to have their welfare cheque cut in half by Washington.
Hamas is always begging for peace, a U.S. military base called Israel is always coming up with some illusion that war is the only way to achieve peace and it must have something to do with wealth. For all those new condominiums have a housing boom in their real estate business that be the envy of all the Western world, which stands in stark contrast to impoverished Palestine with the educated upper half of Israel hoarding all wealth in the promised land.
Hamas could sprout wings, and sport halos, but Israel does not want peace. Israel wants to be the "victim" on "high alert" at all times in order to evoke sympathy. They have Munchausen's by Proxy. Harming a "weaker peoples" in order to evoke sympathy. (and lots of dollars, weapons, etc) Damned Zionists. They do it for all the world to see, and have many people duped.
