Agency France Press<\/a> reports that Israel has rejected the temporary ceasefire proposal thrown together by John Kerry today. <\/p>\n

Kerry’s proposal reportedly involved an initial truce to be followed by negotiations on a final deal by delegations from all the parties.<\/p>\n

Hamas, the main power in Gaza, previously rejected an initial ceasefire proposal, demanding a full settlement before it stopped shooting, but international mediation efforts have gathered pace in the past few days.<\/p>\n

Kerry, who spent another night in Cairo reaching out by telephone to regional officials, met Ban and Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukri for around half an hour.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, those temporary ceasefires always work so well. For Hamas. Israel ceases firing and Hamas continues. What AFP didn’t put in their report is that part of the permanent agreement was that Israel had to open their blockade of Gaza – you know, so those homicide bombers can get to their victims easier. Also, Israel is finding more tunnels and those tunnels are more sophisticated than they thought at first and they don’t want to stop destroying those tunnels.<\/p>\n

So basically, Kerry and the UN wanted to turn back the clock and open up Israelis to more attacks from Hamas. From Reuters<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Hamas, which wants an end to an Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza before agreeing to halt hostilities, has yet to respond to the ceasefire proposition, which has not been made public.<\/p>\n

The Israeli source, who declined to be named, said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet had turned down the plan because it did not let Israel carry on hunting down Hamas’s tunnel network that criss-crosses the Gaza border.<\/p>\n

“Kerry’s proposal leans (too much) towards Hamas’s demands,” said the source.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, I’m shocked that Kerry is failing, because he’s been so successful with everything he’s done up until now. Oh, wait….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
