Hamas refuses truce; Meryl not surprised
Gee, that was quick.
Yesterday, me:
And oh, yeah. Hamas has never stuck with a cease fire. Not ever.
Later that day, the Jerusalem Post:
Hamas and Islamic Jihad on Thursday rejected Egypt’s call for an immediate and unconditional cease-fire with Israel, saying they would only accept the proposal if Israel stopped pursuing their members both in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
The announcement came during a meeting of representatives of the two groups held in el-Arish with Egyptian General Intelligence chief Omar Suleiman.
Earlier in the day, Suleiman met in Cairo with US Undersecretary for Near Eastern Affairs David Welch, and discussed how to bring about an Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire.
Wow. This Suleiman guy is be the Egpytian Charlie Brown to the Palestinians’ Lucy. Either that, or he’s dumb as a brick.

Hamas should just accept every truce given to them. There’s never any consequence for breaking them.

No he knows that it won’t work. He is just catering to the U.S. naivete? (illusion?) so that we will keep giving Egypt the money.
