Israel has rejected a proposal for a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip tabled by Hamas, Al Jazeera reported on Thursday. Hamas submitted its conditions earlier this week in response to terms proposed by Egyptian and Qatari mediators. The Palestinian group later accused Israel of “evading” its proposal. The report cited unnamed sources as saying that the latest round of ceasefire negotiations in Cairo ended unsuccessfully as Israel “rejected Hamas’ request for a permanent ceasefire, the army’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and the return of the displaced without conditions.” NN: This is how negotiations work with terrorists. Once again Israel will be forced to stop before it kills the beast.
