1. Another false Ynet story
Sidney ,   USA   (08.19.14)
There have been several of these before. They are all pretty much the same, Israel gives in on all points and gets nothing in exchange. Then we get the same comments, the U.S. has sold Israel out and Netanyahu is a pathetic wimp. And after the story, nothing happens. Of course, the stories are attributed to unnamed sources. Enough already.
2. THEY WILL BUILD TUNNELS AGAIN AFTER
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (08.19.14)
they manage to get every sucker in EU to pay for their idiotic decisions of defeating Israel. Now, they can spend the next 15 years or so re-building and then get it destroyed again with another war. Muslims sure know how to walk backwards. In the meantime, a few leaders of theirs get rich of the misery of their own people. And the vicious cycle will go on and on.
3. Trust Muslim Obama like you trust mass murderer Muhammad

4. If true then Bibi needs to be "retired"
DT ,   TA Israel   (08.19.14)
.If Kerry is involved it will be another perpetuation of total failure by him. Retake Gaza is the only option
5. The US forces Israel to end blockade while the US
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.19.14)
helps Egypt built steel walls along the Egyptian-Hamas border. Is Jewish blood cheaper than than Egyptians?
6. do not blame Netanyahu
(08.19.14)
It is true that Netanyahu is surrendering to every Hamas demand, knowing that this will inevitably lead to a far worse war. But does Netanyahu have a choice? These concessions were forced by Obama who closed Israel's airport, imposed an arms embargo and probably made far greater threats. Netanyahu could try to ally with Brazil, India, Russia and China, but it is not clear that any of these countries want to ally with Israel. Also, despite Obama Netanyahu believes that Israel and the US are natural allies. Apparently, Netanyahu is taking a gamble that something will happen: Obama will be weakened in 2015, in 2017 America will change course, or a major war in Europe or the Middle East will force the US to realign itself with Israel.
7. Think about it:"humanitarian" applies to Humans!

8. USA is our worst enemy
Devorah ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.19.14)
USA is our worst enemy
9. we surrender, we surrender! BB is afraid of Obama
m   (08.19.14)
Who knows in a year or so when the next war against hamas will start BB won't be Pm anymore so what does he care? The 70 bereaved parents should. It was all for nothing.
10. This is good news?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (08.19.14)
It reads to me that Obama and Kerry have stabbed Israel in the back again. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
11. If this is true, then...
Jerusalem Jew ,   Jerusalem   (08.19.14)
...once again, Netanyahu is acting against the mational interest of Israel.
12. Fantasy
Tal ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.19.14)
An Israel-US agreement on Gaza in exchange for some amorphous nonsense? This is either an American leak trying desperately to get back into the game or Ynet trying to make Bibi look bad or both. I'm surprised Somfalvi falls for this nonsense. Does Ynet think we are all stupid?
13. Wow, if they lie like this what's the meaning of reading.
Miron ,   USA   (08.19.14)
Yahoo seem to have lost Israel so far, he needs Kerry to elect him.
14. is Israel insane?
k ,   US   (08.19.14)
Are they aware now the Gazanns are going to be evenn more militant than ever in a couple of years, and if you are thinking the rockets are bad now wait until they have more lethal weapons coming in
15. Israel surrender
Frank ,   Canada   (08.19.14)
Basically, Israel surrender everything to Hamas in exchange of empty words because everybody knows that Hamas does not care of signed agreements
16. peace
bob ,   las vegas, nv   (08.19.14)
give gaza a port and airport and you will have north korea and iran. fear and intimidation will continue to run the area. this will not end well for israel.
17. WOW The leadership in israel...
Sara ,   Victoria BC   (08.19.14)
Who thought that the day will come when the people in Israel would be handed over to Hamas by their own gov. Shame on you for surrendering to terror and showing other terror groups that it pays to hurt innocent!
18. All of us know
US citizen ,   Atlanta, US   (08.19.14)
This thing has gotten way beyond any mere humans' ability to manage. This is a very special bit of treachery crafted by the best ability of these humans to get us to Daniel's seventieth week. When it's done God will take his second day of rest thus completing the second week of creation.
