Hamas, the Palestinian militant group ruling the Gaza Strip, is willing to enter into a ceasefire agreement with Israel's military contingent on two conditions, according to a senior Hamas official.

"We informed all parties that we would accept a mutual ceasefire between Israel and Hamas with two conditions," Dr. Basem Naim, a former Palestinian health minister who is now head of Hamas' international relations council, told ABC News on Tuesday evening. "One, Israeli forces must stop incursions into the Al-Asqa compound and respect the site. Two, Israel must stop the forced evacuation of the Palestinian residents in the Sheikh Jarah neighborhood. This condition is in accordance with international law, not only a condition expected by the Hamas authority."

Israel, however, is not interested, according to an Israeli official with direct knowledge of the matter.

"We say to stop prematurely is to give Hamas the victory it wants," the Israeli official told ABC News on Tuesday evening. "Hamas has to come out of this defeated."

Those are made up reasons for the Hamas rocket onslaught. Sure they may have a gripe or two, but 3000 rockets is not the appropriate way to address them.

If Israel gives in to this, Hamas will invent some new “outrage” as an excuse to keep attacking.

Should have pushed the Gazans all into Egypt and the West Bankers into Jordan in 1967.

Israel needs to go in a blow up every tunnel so Hamas has no place to stash rockets. Then go door to door looking for the Hamas leadership for “re-education”. When that is done then they can sit down and talk.

These savages are in NO position to “negotiate” a ceasefire.
They started it. Bibi should finish it on his own terms.

Bingo.

“Dear Bibi,

We’re running low on rockets over here. Can you cut us a break so that we can restock and rebuild our launch sites?

XOXO,

Hamas”

Let me get this straight, Hamas is getting its ass rightfully kicked, and has decided that they’re willing to discuss terms of a ceasefire.... those clowns are about as smart as our retarded *resident.

Yep, 8 infantry brigades is called for.

Boots on the ground with rifles.

I hope that is the plan once things are softened up.

And it’ll be slow slogging, door to door.

Reminds me of a great line in the movie Patton,
“This is where we grab em by the nose and kick em in the ass”.
