Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal said that the Islamist group’s request for a ceasefire with Israel was “a tactic in conducting the struggle.” In an interview with Al-Jazeera, Mashaal explained that “it is normal for any resistance…to sometimes escalate, other times retreat a bit.” Hamas has implemented ceasefires in the past and has later resumed attacks, he pointed out, citing 2003 as a specific example. Nothing would prevent Hamas from continuing to import and manufacture weapons and train terrorists.

that take care of families of martyrs as a moral crime, Well gee Mr. Fuzzy Wuzzy Barbarian Barhoum , we consider murdering innocent civilians in terrorist bombings and shootings to be a moral crime. Your so called martyrs aka terrorist murderers should have thought about what would happen to their families before they went off murdering people! I guess they were all busy fantasizing about what they would do with their 72 imaginary virgins who are no longer virgins after the first time, to worry about how their family would survive!

will there be Jewish organization to run these charities after returning the confiscated tools and reopening the charity facilities? will the Islamic Waqf run Jerusalem's synagogues?

why does the idf need to do abbas' dirty-work? if fatah isn't capable of shutting down a girls' school or a charity, in their own controlled territory, why is israel supporting them? the idf won't be able to prop up a failing regime forever, and sooner or later israel will be faced with the reality that they backed a loser. why is the israeli government building its hopes and futures on a foundation of quicksand?

This is how israel wants to make a peace with the palestinians. intimidating, banning, sanctioning and doing every anti-human step is the nature of israel and jewsh people
