Report: Hamas Refused to Meet With Israelis
(IsraelNN.com) The Arabic daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat has reported that Hamas rejected an initiative in which Hamas leaders would have held unofficial meetings with senior Israelis. The initiative was suggested by Israel as a way of reaching an agreement while avoiding direct talks with the Hamas terror gang, which does not recognize Israel and is responsible for several recent attacks.
European diplomats have been pushing for a ceasefire agreement that would allow for the reopening of Gaza crossings, the paper reported. A senior British official reportedly met with Hamas leaders recently to discuss the matter. Israeli officials have repeatedly stated that there is no need to negotiate a ceasefire, as Gaza crossings will open and IDF operations in Gaza will stop when Hamas stops rocket attacks on Israeli towns.
