US Secretary of State John Kerry informed Hamas via Qatar last week that under his proposal for a ceasefire with Israel, based on the original Egyptian initiative, the US would guarantee the fulfillment of many of Hamas’s demands for an end to the war, Palestinian sources told The Times of Israel on Saturday.

Kerry’s handling of the ceasefire effort was castigated by Israeli sources on Friday and Saturday, and the Israeli security cabinet unanimously rejected his ceasefire proposal on Friday night.

The guarantees promised to Hamas by Kerry under a ceasefire, as relayed to The Times of Israel by the Palestinian sources, pertain to the following issues: an easing of restrictions on the passage of goods from Israel to Gaza; an easing of restrictions on the passage of traders and businessmen from Gaza to Israel; expansion of the permitted Gaza fishing zone to 12 miles off the coast; the opening of the Rafah crossing with Egypt, to be manned by Palestinian Authority officials; and a promise to ensure the transfer of salaries to Gaza’s government employees.

Kerry made no promises on the issue of the Hamas demand for the release of prisoners, other than a pledge to discuss the matter. There was also no mention of the establishment of a seaport in Gaza, as demanded by Hamas.

Yeah, I dunno. In hindsight, probably would have preferred her to Obama. Frankly, I don’t see any Democrat I’d be comfortable with in the Oval Office.

I don't either. They are so far left as to be uber socialists, almost communists.
A guy on O'Reilly said that the GOP are today where the Democrats were 40 years ago. He might have a point.

Sigh. What to do?

Be careful what you wish for...

Lol.
True enough.

Isn't it nice of Mr. Tomato Sauce to negotiate with terrorist Mass Murderers on behalf of the Israeli Knesset?

Nice of him to use the word ‘guarantee’ in advance of any agreement with anybody. Were those his instructions, or was he just talking out of his a@#? I suspect the former.

I would loathe having her snotty face interrupt any of my T.V. programs with campaigning.

Dude!
What do you think the Hildabeast (and her MSM enablers) has been doing for the last three-four months?

You haven't noticed?

Oh, I see, he’s now making you and me responsible for meeting the demands of terrorists. This is NOT the America I knew just 6 years ago.
