Amid growing US pressure, Israel said considering Gaza ceasefire

[Mosby]

As US President Joe Biden and other major American figures raised concerns over the weekend regarding recent Israeli strikes that killed a number of Palestinian civilians and destroyed a Gaza building used by international media outlets, which Israel maintained also housed terror groups, Israeli officials indicated Sunday that a ceasefire with Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad could be coming.

Senior Israeli officials told the Walla news site ahead of Sunday’s security cabinet meeting that the calls were being heard and that Israel would start moving toward a ceasefire now that a number of military objectives had been achieved against Hamas, as well as in response to the growing international pressure.

The anonymous officials said that as with previous agreements between Israel and the Gaza terror groups, the ceasefire would be mediated by Egypt.

2. When apartheid ended in South Africa,

Liberation terrorism came to an end. Single State or two State solution is the only way to end it. That won’t be easy for either side.

3. 20 Palestinians have been killed by Hamas rockets that fell short.

Almost 450 Hamas rockets have exploded in Gaza proper.

5. Got a link?

I had read that many rockets fell back to gaza but not that they killed anyone

I have seem interviews of parents sobbing over dead children, saying we were sleeping or we were gathered waiting for prayer call

Here in the USA if there are criminals in a building, swat goes in and gets the criminals....in gaza the building gets leveled. It makes no sense to me.

4. Seems

the Likud is hesitant to send their tanks into Gaza, and their air campaign can't stop the rockets.
