Now is the time to finish them off if they’re squealing for an ‘unconditional’ cease fire, IMO.

Agreeing to a ceasefire is one thing; them living up to it when it’s no longer convenient is another

In other words...”we need time to re-arm and re-group.”

But they're crossing their fingers, so it just means they've agreed to holler uncle for now until they have time to rearm.

This means they want the IDF to stop attacking them until they can regain their strength - then the rockets and mortars against Southern Israel will resume

Not sure what an “unconditional ceasefire” actually means — is it a surrender? Do the IDF get to confiscate their weapons? Do the IDF occupy the entire region?

Tells me the Israeli’s are winning, Big Time.

I hope they don’t let up, because if they do we will be watching this play out once again within 18 months, tops.

this will only hinder israel. it will give hamas more time to re-arm. but israel will have no choice.

Not interested in “unconditional cease fire”.

Unconditional surrender, on the other hand.

Hamas leaders who have left the country should be denied reentry.

The surest cease fire is to kill them all dead.

Unconditional for about 24 hours.

Yes but has Iran and the Hamas “leadership” signed off. Otherwise it’s a ruse.
Iran was threatening to pull the plug on the monies to Hamas if they did agree to the Egyptian ceasefire plan.

So let’s wait and see. Besides, have the Israelis reached their objectives? We don’t know.

How many rockets fell on Ashkelon and S'derot during the last "cease fire;" wasn't it about 7,500?

Israel must reject this and finish them off. It will only give them time to regroup and re-arm.

Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't grasp the concept of an unconditional cease-fire.

Unconditional surrender? Sure, that makes a lot of sense.
Unconditional cease-fire? "Uhhhhh, we will stop shooting but we haven't lost -- OK?" What kind of concept is that?

I’m sure a Hamas declaration of victory will be forthcoming soon. (Yeah I’ve seen this movie before)
