GAZA CITY — Hamas has demanded a guarantee from Israel that it would not attack the Islamic regime in the Gaza Strip. ShareThis
Hamas sources said a five-member delegation that completed negotiations in Cairo has insisted that any Israeli ceasefire include a guarantee backed by the international community that Israel would not topple the Islamic regime. The sources said this has been the main obstacle to a ceasefire agreement, Middle East Newsline reported. "They [Egypt] have a duty to provide guarantees that bind the Zionist entity, and the Egyptians have to give us answers to our inquiries," Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said.
The disclosure came amid renewed fighting between Israel and Hamas along the Gaza Strip border. On Feb. 7, Israeli aircraft struck Hamas strongholds in the southern and central Gaza Strip.
No reason at all to leave a threat alive ...
Kill roaches. Don’t give them the refrigerator.
NUTS!
Israel should say they will stop only when every self proclaimed member of Hamas is either dead or in an Israeli prison.
Israel should agree when Hamas guarantees that no more rockets or missiles are fired into Israel. The first one fired starts the war.
