Cease-fire conditions discussed in Egypt

Azerbaijan News.Net
Tuesday 6th January, 2009

An immediate cease-fire between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza has been proposed by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Mr Mubarak made the proposal Tuesday after talks with his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy, who is visiting Egypt.

Mr Mubarak said long-term arrangements and guarantees, including an end to the blockade of Gaza, must be made by both sides.

He said the guarantees should include securing and opening the border crossings for humanitarian aid.

A delegation from Hamas is also in Cairo for talks with Egyptian mediators.

But Hamas officials have said the group will only consider a cease-fire if Israel ends its offensive in Gaza and reopens the territory's borders.

Israel is unlikely to consider the demands, as Defense Minister Ehud Barak has recently said the fighting will go on until Israel achieves "peace and tranquility" for residents of southern Israel, who have been targeted by Hamas rockets.

NO CEASEFIRE UNTIL IDF VICTORY

The Palestinians fear one thing worse than death: humiliation. This isn’t normal. Even a dog will offer its throat to another dog to save its own life. Hardly a culture exists that hasn’t suffered some form of defeat or humiliation. A people that are willing to die to the last man, woman and child rather than suffer DEFEAT...this is NOT noble, this is STUPID. Give UP, Hamas. Let go your hold around the Palestinians' necks. Give your own people a chance to try to forge a real peace and create their own state. As long as you remain bloodthirsty, rocket-launching terrorists, you will DIE. There will be NO “river to the sea” - there will only be hell for you.
