Hamas rejects Gaza truce unless blockade ends
Reported by Al Jazeera
Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal says there can be no ceasefire unless Israel ends its eight-year blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Hamas has rejected a ceasefire to end the 16-day offensive against Gaza unless Israel ends its blockade of the strip, its leader Khaled Meshaal has said.
"We reject today ... and will reject in the future" a ceasefire before negotiations on Hamas' demands, which include lifting years of blockade against the Palestinian enclave, Meshaal told journalists in Doha, Qatar's capital.
Lifting the eight-year blockade is a main demand of Hamas, which also wants the opening of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, and Israel to free Palestinian prisoners.
eshaal's statement came as the UN Human Rights Council voted to launch an independent inquiry into Israel's offensive.
As international calls for an end to the fighting in Gaza mount, Meshaal said that Hamas "welcomes all efforts to end the aggression" and "does not object" to mediation by any party, including Egypt.
"We will not accept any initiative that does not lift the blockade on our people and that does not respect their sacrifices," he said.
Egypt, whose president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, has sought to isolate Hamas in neighbouring Gaza, had tried to broker a truce between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas had rejected the ceasefire proposal which it said was favourable to Israel.
It argues that Egypt's proposal, which is backed by the United States, United Nations and Arab League, would allow Israel to dictate if and when to ease its blockade on Gaza.
"Let us agree on achieving our demands and we will then agree on the zero-hour for a ceasefire," Meshaal said.
'We will not bow'
Meshaal appealed to the international community and NGOs to "come to the aid of Gaza and not wait until after the war ends".
"I call today for opening border crossings to allow the entry of aid convoys" to the Gaza Strip which needs "fuel, food and electricity", he said.
"We are more concerned about a humanitarian truce, like last Thursday ... for evacuating casualties and assisting the population.
"We are not closing the door to a humanitarian truce ... that would not manoeuvre around demands of the resistance," he added.
Gaza residents testify about the effects Israel and Egypt's blockade of their land has had on their lives.
Meshaal said Hamas wants the "aggression to stop tomorrow, today, or even this minute. But [Israel must] lift the blockade with guarantees and not as a promise for future negotiations".
He added "we will not shut the door in the face of any humanitarian ceasefire backed by a real aid programme".
UK charity Oxfam said on Wednesday that thousands of Palestinians have fled their homes but have nowhere safe to shelter from Israeli air strikes and warned that supplies of water and food are dangerously low.
The conflict has so far killed 715 Palestinians, 32 Israeli soldiers, two Israeli civilians and a Thai worker.
"We do not want a war and we do not want it to continue, but we will not bow in front of it," Meshaal said.

The Arabs laid the foundation to science that we know now. Try to do calculations with Roman numbers or Chinese numbers instead of arabic numbers.
The most important number Zero , was Arabic.
The origin of rocketry is Chinese. He is 錢學森. I will not write his English name as that was written in a dozen ways, and only one way in Chinese. And the most influential rocket scientist for the West and the East is the father of Dongfang 21 F, the carrier killer. I d not think he was a Jew or with a jew as one of his ancestor.

Fully agree with you Sam,
Palestinian always want to provoke Israel, that's why Israel wants to teach them a lesson!!
You killed 3 Israelis I will teach you a lesson 300 died!!
Sinkies know only how to keep head low low and arseholes up high high.
Sinkies deserved to be tieu and kan and raped with their grandmothers and grandfathers and sons and daughters.
I salute Hamas for not bowing to being kept as chickens in coops from the land stolen from them.
I urge modern arms be allowed to Palestinians to fight for their rights.
Again, going by your logic, you might as will salute the Jews for fighting back.
Anyway, you, your family, parents and grandparents are Singaporeans too right?
This time he is on the side of the majority of Sinkaporeans. GMS .. Thanks for speaking up.
VTO 2015 /6
Be happy, very very happy.

Gazan authorities said Israeli forces shelled a shelter at a U.N.-run school, killing at least 15 people, as the Palestinian death toll in the conflict reached 796 and attempts at a truce remained elusive.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed horror at the Thursday attack on the school at Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza strip. "Many have been killed – including women and children, as well as U.N. staff," he said in a statement. "Circumstances are still unclear. I strongly condemn this act."
Going by your logic, let all parties be armed equally so the fight be equal.
NO FUCKING CHOSEN RACE AND PROMISED LAND.
THE LAST ONE STANDING CAN CLAIM IT ALL.
When I was in school, there was no Isreal, .... only the state of Palestine. I even have Palestine postage stamps in my collection. You ignorant twit.
There is no country known as "Palestine' . It just nothing more than a geographical name. Under the British Mandate, the whole of Palestine (including wB, Gaza, Israel) was actually earmarked to become Jewish territory under the name Jewish National Home while arab get a majority chunk known as Transjordan which is what was today's Jordan.
Wah Ah Pek, you must be sibei old already. Israel declared independence and was recognized in 1949, that was 65 years ago!! You must be above 70 or even above 80 years old!
Before 1949 officially (by UN) there was no People's Republic of China. Did you have the Republic of China stamp too? The one with Chiang Kai Shek or Sun Yat Sun photo?

Proportionality displaced and you cannot condemn them because to do so is to deny their right to exist?

Any of you here ever ventured to the Promised Land? Try it (if you make it past Ben Gurion without getting traumatised).... It's really convenient to have armchair general views because you don't have to face their reality...the war for that piece of land never stopped....it's the land of milk and honey layered with the blood of history and generations....

Going by my logic, I think that there should be World Peace and nobody kills anybody. Just KPKB behind the PC will suffice.
However, we know that it will not happen.
Since we dunno who is right and who is wrong, and is none of our business, we stay out and not point fingers to any one party.
Just do what we do best, i.e
- you continue fucking PAP online and show us all the jumban photos, plus talking about eating candle wax, joss stick etc;
- me continue to fuck the Foreign Trash from Malaysia, Tonychat
- GMS just concentrating his effort to beat PAP and be elected in the next GE.

Escher seems to know more about this. Hamas is indeed a creation of Israel. They needed a bogeyman after Yasser Arafat. As you know for 30 years Arafat was protected by the Israeli's from assassination from rivals because he was pliable and corrupt. His family stayed in Paris and had a lavish lifestyle and when he died, his estate was worth more than a billion dollars.
What was a secular conflict was turned into a religious conflict by the Israeli's.
The Israeli will clear all the tunnels but they will make make sure that Hamas will remain so that no Palestine state will emerge.

people here who take sides without reading up
pathetic
It's the same with local politics. People condemn the PAP without understanding just how good they are.
Perhaps but there is another axis of interest right now which is the Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas vs KSA/Egypt/UAE vs Qatar/US (?) vs Iran-Hezbollah-Syria vs ISIS

It's not so blatant...
There is an excellent TV series on the BBC at the moment: The Honourable Woman - highly recommend it..
Here's the Saudis getting pissed off that they were accused of supporting the Israelis in Gaza to uproot Hamas...
