Gaza peace talks resume in Cairo

In Gaza, citizens are begging for “basic human rights”.

ISRAEL HAS WARNED it would not countenance any long-term truce deal that did not answer its security needs as Gaza ceasefire talks resumed in Cairo.

Egyptian-brokered indirect negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians are taking place during a five-day lull in the fighting which is due to expire at midnight on Monday.

The aim is to broker a long-term arrangement to halt over a month of bloody fighting which erupted on July 8 and has so far claimed 1,980 Palestinians lives and 67 on the Israeli side.

But as the Israeli team landed in Cairo, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they would not agree to any proposal which did not offer a clear answer to Israel’s security needs.

“The Israeli delegation in Cairo is acting with a very clear mandate to stand firmly on Israel’s security needs,” said Netanyahu.

“Only if there is a clear answer to Israel’s security needs, only then will we agree to reach an understanding.”

The talks began on Sunday afternoon at the headquarters of the Egyptian intelligence in the absence of four officials from Gaza, among them representatives of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, who were expected to arrive during the evening.

It was the first time they had sat down since Wednesday after the negotiators returned home for three-days of consultations with their respective political masters.

Cairo airport sources said the Israeli delegation arrived mid-morning from Tel Aviv, and a Palestinian delegation from Ramallah flew in around the same time via Amman.

Hamas’s exiled deputy leader Mussa Abu Marzuk arrived from Doha.

In Gaza, although millions enjoyed a weekend free of the deadly fighting, residents are now facing other battles including the struggle to cope with a chronic water shortage.

“There’s no water here and the toilets are very dirty, this is no kind of life,” said Feriel al-Zaaneen who is sheltering at a UN school and hasn’t been able to have a shower in over a month.

Muntaha al-Kafarna, a mother of nine who has been living in a small tent in the school courtyard did manage to shower at a nearby hospital, but says her family is really suffering.

“My sons have caught lice and nits because they can’t shower here,” she said.

“I wish a missile would hit us, me and my children. Dying is better than this life.”

    Israeli paying its citizens to post on sites like this, to spread outright lies. It is disgusting.
    Meanwhile in the West-Bank of Gaza, the Israeli military continue their terror campaign directly aimed at children in the age group of 5-10 years old.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxL-RIH2OQQ&feature=share

    The Israeli army have a policy of arresting at least 700 children every year under the age of 10. If their parents object they are shot for resisting arrest.
    Israeli has become a terrorist state in the last decade and must be stopped at all costs.

    @ Charles & Fognostical….As you can see boys, the game is up.

    The Court of World Opinion knows the truth and sees the truth. This whole conflict has been caused by 6 decades of Israeli aggression and lawlessness. 67 Un Resolutions have been flouted by Israel. Repeatedly stealing land under the pretext of defending themselves from ‘terrorists’ – when in fact, they are the terrorist, driving into Palestinian land and then claiming, like utter cowards, that the Palestinians should not defend themselves from aggression.

    Meanwhile, over the last ten years, the ISraelis blockaded the people of Gaza behind a huge wall, frequently cutting their power, their internet and closing all Gaza’s borders. Stopping humanitarian aid, and harassing convoys which were both peaceful and conscientious.

    And then…the ‘calorie control’ – slowly malnourishing all the citizens of Gaza under the most disgusting pretext of ‘demoralising Hamas’.

    Both of you should be ashamed of yourself to peddle such nonsense and fascist support for a state now clearly, and globally, isolated and reviled.
    IF you had any shame, or indeed dignity, you would reveal your real names so that you can be interviewed in 20 or 30 years and asked why you supported a state which has broken every rule of the UN Charter.

    Misguided or malicious, may whatever God (or not) you believe in, forgive you.

    That’s true, Christians live among Arabs and Muslims in Gaza, as they do in the West Bank. One of the most blatant untruths (to my mind) that Fognostical has been pushing on here is that Hamas are the same as IS, that they impose Sharia Law. Simply not true, Christians are being massacred by IS dogs in Syria and Iraq, but in Gaza they have died at the hands of the IDF, alongside their Muslim neighbours. I don’t support Hamas on many levels, but let’s keep it truthful.

    Well at the very beginning they blamed Hamas in Gaza for the disappearance of the three teens in Hebron, in the WB (false), and then they carried out an operation, under the guise of frantically searching for the 3. This operation involved the killing of Palestinian civilians, including kids, and the imprisonment of dozens of Hamas officials. The 3 teens died soon after their disappearance, it’s hard to credit that Mossad took so long to find the bodies (they were found near where they went missing)…

    As a result of this 10 day operation by the IDF, some militants fired rockets at Israel, and BiBi had his excuse to go in and crush Gaza. Also recently a huge amount of natural gas was located off the Gazan coastline. Surely a coincidence?

    So why is it, the Israeli ambassador to Ireland last week on the Pat Kenny show claim that it was Hamas that carried out the murder of the teens. He stated that ‘we know it was them’.

    This was left unchallenged by the plank who carried out a very sympathetic interview with the ambassador. Needless to say, our media is playing ball with its owners.

    So why isn’t the fact that Hamas uses Shifa Hospital as a command post making headlines? In part, it’s because the location is so un-secret that Hamas regularly meets with reporters there. On July 15, for example, William Booth of the Washington Post wrote that the hospital “has become a de facto headquarters for Hamas leaders, who can be seen in the hallways and offices.” Back in 2006, PBS even aired a documentary showing how gunmen roam the halls of the hospital, intimidate the staff, and deny them access to protected locations within the building—where the camera crew was obviously prohibited from filming. Yet the confirmation that Hamas is using Gaza City’s biggest hospital as its de facto headquarters was made in the last sentence of the eighth paragraph of Booth’s story—which would appear to be the kind of rookie mistake that is known in journalistic parlance as “burying the lede.”

    Fog, how do the child abusers of the IDF explain the murder of over 10 children in the Westbank so far this year? How do you explain the the israeli army systematically arresting kids of 5 at gun point in the West Ban (minimum quota of 700 per year) when no rockets come from the West Bank and have posed no threat to Israeli citizens? Most of the kids they arrest were not even born when the last suicide bomb went off in Israel 11 years ago.

    Do you really give a damn about the Palestinian kids or are you just on here to try and point the blame at Hamas?
    Israel has no interest in peace. They reneged on the last ceasefire deal 18 months ago. Back then they committed to lifting the blockade and allowing exports out of Gaza.
    One truck per day carrying exports is allowed to leave Gaza. Israel needs to be bombed back to the stone age by international partners in order to force them to do the right and honorable thing in Palestine and withdraw to the 1967 borders and give control of air/sea/land back to the Palestinian people.

    Charles, how many children in the West-Bank have been murdered or arrested by the IDF (Israel) in the last 2 years. When i say children, i mean children under the age of 13.

    How many Israeli children were arrested at gun-pint by the army in the same time period and how many children were murdered by the IDF or even Hamas for that matter?
    Israel needs to be held to account. It seems that Israel only understands violence. They have had 50 years to deal with the Palestinian issue and they haven’t. They suppress the rights of millions of people. They need to be taught a harsh lesson to that a real and lasting solution can be found.

    A Hamas official inadvertently acknowledged on Thursday that the group had strong-armed journalists in Gaza into a reporting style that suited its narrative, keeping many under surveillance and kicking out of the territory those who sought to film the launching of rockets at Israel. Just as we saw when they were caught red-handed using Shifa hospital as their HQ, Hamas , like ISIS, are not interested in their fellow Muslims whom the see as chattels especially the women and children.

Murdered many more in the last 2 years (Including the West-Bank, where there are no rockets coming from?)

    The Israeli army have a policy of arresting at least 700 children every year under the age of 10. If their parents object they are shot for resisting arrest.

    Hamas are using children as cannon fodder while their own children are safe in European schools. This is a cynical attempt to brand Israel as ‘child-killers’ when the Hamas blood -sacrifice is successful and the evil strategy works when gullible people fall for it.
    To quote Michael Krause, a former senior Australian Army officer res­ponsible for planning the coalition campaign in Afghanistan, ” “I have seen these people,” the retired major general said. “I know how they think. I know how they fight. There is no compromise possible.” From the Philippines down to Nigeria these Islamofascists are killing and maiming and eliminating all other religions as they strive to establish a Caliphate and people need to wake up to this threat.
