Hamas ceasefire report incorrect-Spanish formin

MADRID, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Spain's foreign ministry said on Wednesday that a report quoting Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos as saying Hamas had accepted an Egyptian proposal for a Gaza ceasefire was incorrect.

"This report is not correct," a ministry spokesman said, referring to a report on the website of newspaper El Pais.

"The minister simply mentioned a piece of news that (news agency) EFE had put out saying that," the spokesman said. "He (Moratinos) does not have information from Hamas".

El Pais declined to comment on the Foreign Ministry's denial.

Well, good news for Israel I guess. Now they can just go back to keeping the Palestinians in their open-air prison; keep them walled in, deny them food, water, medicine, jobs etc... Continue to settle on Palestinian land. Continue to ignore the dozens of UN resolutions passed against them. And continue the illegal occupation and settlement of arab land.

So, in effect, nothing has changed for Israel. They got to go on a fun, genocidal killing spree of Palestinians under the phony guise of "self-defense", can continue their illegal oppression and can now "save face" by claiming to have accepted a cease-fire.

Prediction: It won't last and it won't change a thing. Until TRUE Jews stamp out Zionism and work in concert with other arab nations to establish a true two-state solution with internationally recognized borders, the Palestinians will continue to fight for their rightful place in the ME and their cause will continue to radicalize hundreds and thousands of arab youth for generations to come. Until such time, Israel will always live under the threat of terrorism - the same terror that they have spread throughout the region under the Irgun, Stern gang and Mossad.

Syria's al-Assad says Hamas might accept ceasefire

Damascus/Tel Aviv - Hamas, the Islamist group controlling the Gaza Strip, might support a ceasefire under certain conditions, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Wednesday in an interview broadcast by the BBC. "They (Hamas) are for the ceasefire. But when we say ceasefire, we don't say ceasefire for just three days. It has to be sustainable," said al-Assad.

The prime ingredient to making a ceasefire sustainable, he said, is Israeli respect for the ceasefire. That would mean Israel would have to abstain from targeted assassinations of Hamas leaders, launched from military helicopters or drones.
