A West Bank Palestinian legislator, Hanan Ashrawi, said a truce is long overdue.
"I certainly would like to see an immediate cease-fire, I would like to see an immediate cessation of the violence, and the incursions and the invasion and this horrific assault against the captive Palestinian population," said Ashrawi.
In Damascus, exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal said his side would not consider a cease-fire until Israel halts the offensive and agrees to lift its crippling blockade on Gaza.
Likewise, Israeli security chiefs told the Cabinet that Hamas will not raise the white flag. But they also said that Hamas is in disarray. It is running low on ammunition, its tunnel supply lines on the Egyptian border have been destroyed, and therefore, army intelligence believes Hamas is interested in a cease-fire.
But with rockets still terrorizing southern Israel, the security chiefs recommended keeping up the military pressure on Hamas. |
