A Hamas senior official said that they are willing to discuss a truce with Israel after having “achieved its targets,” according to Al Jazeera.
Israel has been bombarding the Gaza Strip with rockets since the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas launched a surprise assault Saturday morning resulting in the deaths of over 700 Israelis, with two thousand more injured and an undetermined number have been taken hostage. Moussa Abu Marzouk, a senior official, said that the terrorist group had ” achieved its targets” and would be open to a truce or “something of that sort” during an interview with Al Jazeera.
Marzouk also claimed that Hamas had captured multiple individuals with dual citizenship from”Israel … Russian and Chinese citizenship,” according to Al Jazeera. Just hours before, Abu Obaida, a spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said that Hamas would execute hostages in Gaza if Israel does not stop its rocket strikes in the area, according to multiple reports.
“We have decided to put an end to the Zionist crimes against our people,” said Abu Obaida, spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, according to one report. “Any targeting of our people without prior warning will be met with the execution of a civilian hostage.”
A State Department spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation Monday that it was working to confirm reports of American hostages taken by Hamas after Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer announced that the Israeli government had confirmed the presence of American hostages.
No quarter given...
Truce, my a$$. It’s payback time.
LOL! Now that they’re about to take a pounding.
How about no?
AFTER they suffer massive carnage maybe they can talk. Not before.
While it’s very sweet of Hamas to offer a cease fire, I doubt Israel is in any mood for it, and I doubt the Neocons in DC have any leverage left to force Israel’s hand, as Netanyahu knows full-well the political situation for the Democrats in the US (which is that appearing to waiver in support of Israel is suicide for the party).
Takes a lot of nerve. Commit a barbarous terrorist act of mass murder, rape, hostage taking, and pillaging and say “oops, lets have a truce”.
I would say a truce is a long way off dude and it will only be when you are the only one left on your side.
Hamas is radical mMslim. They don’t believe any agreement with infidels is binding. This includes moderate Muslims. They believe in killing non-combatants including women and children, in raping, and in taking slaves, hostages and concubines. They’ve been doing these things since the 7th Century. We see what they do again and again. Right now in Afghanistan and in many countries of Africa. Just a few years ago in ISIS. In the west, every now and again with a stream of individuals going jihad. Our first encounter with them was in the Barbary Coast wars.
BTTT
Hamas is kind of all dressed up with nowhere to go.
And then BOOM 💥. Here they come again.
Yes. You can’t partially eradicate cancer and expect to survive.
“Bold strategy Cotton... let’s see if it pays off....”
Between that and “Oh yeah, you blend”, I have a hard time deciding which is more used in such biting ways . . .
“Sure they are. It’s like a kids fight where the little guy throws the first punch then runs away.”
But the little kid runs to the teacher and whines, “He hit me back!”

I sure hope so.

And Damascus, too. Yup.
It was likely the plan from the beginning. Kill hundreds of Jews then pour on the propaganda. It was cold calculation.
Agreed and the US should be 100% on board. Gaza needs to go. Push every one of them out of Israel.... I think Hamas has made a bad mistake... and only two days in they are realizing it.
The biggest impact of the Hamas invasion is likely to be a complete loss of confidence that Israelis have in their government.
“Agree, there is something different this time.“
That something might be the fact that Israel’s soft policy with respect to NAZI like monsters made “ never again” an empty vow for the people who suddenly found themselves being rounded up by soldiers and raped and shot. A hell of a lot of people got the wwll experience suddenly out of the blue.
