In Islamic law, the Muslims should only agree to a ceasefire or truce when they’re losing, and need time to gather strength. So when the jihadis want a truce is the very last time the party they’re attacking should give them one. But no one knows that even in Israel, as no one thinks Islamic law has any importance in the conflict whatsoever, despite the repeated statements to the contrary by “Palestinian” jihadis and their supporters.
As you can see, even the pro-jihad rock star Roger Waters wants a ceasefire. So does Joe Biden. Those are two indications that it is not wise to impose one at this time.
“Israel-Gaza ceasefire will be reached soon, says Hamas official,” by Nidal al-Mughrabi and Rami Ayyub, Business Day, May 20, 2021:
Gaza — A senior Hamas official predicted a ceasefire within days in the Israel-Gaza conflict, after US President Joe Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to seek a “de-escalation” in the fighting.
Rocket fire into Israel died down overnight, a lull that stretched into Thursday morning. Israel was launching new air strikes in Gaza after daybreak, but, Israeli media said, at a slower pace than in past days.
An Egyptian security source said the sides had agreed in principle to a ceasefire after help from mediators but details were still being negotiated in secret.
“I think that the ongoing efforts regarding the ceasefire will succeed,” the Hamas political official, Moussa Abu Marzouk, told Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen TV. “I expect a ceasefire to be reached within a day or two, and the ceasefire will be on the basis of mutual agreement.”
Asked on Israel’s Kan public radio if a ceasefire would begin on Friday, intelligence minister Eli Cohen said: “No. We are definitely seeing very significant international pressure … we will finish the operation when we decide we have attained our goals.”
Netanyahu, who spoke to Biden by telephone on Wednesday, has said Israel wants to achieve “forceful deterrence” to dissuade Gaza’s ruling Hamas Islamists from future confrontation.
Qatar-based Al Jazeera television reported that UN Middle East peace envoy Tor Wennesland was meeting Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Qatar….
“Breaking: Israel and Hamas militants reportedly agree to ceasefire,” by Carlos Garcia, The Blaze, May 19, 2021:
The deadly conflict between Israel and Hamas militants will be coming to an end soon after a ceasefire was reportedly reached between the two parties.
The ceasefire was reported Wednesday by Channel 12 News in Israel.
A senior Hamas official appeared to confirm the news during an interview on Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen TV according to Reuters.
“I think that the ongoing efforts regarding the ceasefire will succeed,” said Hamas political official Moussa Abu Marzouk.
“I expect a ceasefire to be reached within a day or two, and the ceasefire will be on the basis of mutual agreement,” he added.
CNN’s Manu Raju also reported that Hamas officials told CNN that a ceasefire was “imminent, possibly within 24 hours.”
The conflict has been raging for 10 days during which hundreds of rockets have been fired at Israel from militants in the Gaza Strip. While the nation’s vaunted Iron Dome defense system was able to intercept most of the rockets, some were able to slip past onto civilian areas. Palestinians and their allies also rioted and attacked Israelis in several cities across the country…
Jim says
Ceasefire is not the same as agreeing to stop firing rockets into Israel What chance is there that ceasefire would lead to permanently stopping the rockets, tunnels and terror attacks. Probably very little.
Kesselman says
I recommend full-throttle on Hamas, especially now when a cease-fire is called upon by Bidet. As stated in the article above real peace isn’t an option with Islam and its operative arms, the various jihadis.—Avoid empty buildings and warning shouts. Get them all!
Andrew Blackadder says
Roger Waters is what is known in the UK as a bloody wanker with a wee prick.
He seems more concerned about his lovely peaceful tolerant Rock N Roll buddies in Gaza than any Israeli.
Infidel says
No. This time, Israel should reoccupy Gaza and evict all the Palis from there. Arrange to send them to Qatar or Turkey – their choice
James Lincoln says
Agree, Infidel.
I don’t think there’s another viable choice at this point…
mortimer says
Israel is winning against the terrorists and they should make a complete round-up of terrorists, try them and jail them and so stop the jihad for years. That will be the best CEASE-FIRE of all. There will be almost no one left to organize and conduct the violence. They will all be in jail.
GFF says
But they’ll get their killer bucks.
