But this if kinda off topic so keeping on posting on another thread..

Channel 2 TV’s political analyst says Israel does not want a written ceasefire deal with Hamas, but rather an informal arrangement.

Israel’s government believes a written deal would be “like a deal with the mafia,” Udi Segal says.

Israel does not want formal guarantees from Egypt, because that would risk involving Egypt in the next round of Gaza violence, risking a historic peace agreement that Israel sees as a “strategic asset.”

Israel is currently ratcheting up its strikes in Gaza to show Hamas that dragging its feet on a ceasefire will cost it dearly, he says.

If Hamas ceases shooting, so will Israel, Segal says. The quiet will then be tested over a period of days or weeks, after which Israel might consider a gesture to Hamas like green-lighting the full opening of the Gaza-Egypt border terminal at Rafah.

In return, Egypt would promise to cut off the flow of rockets into Gaza, he says.

Tel Aviv bus hit by bomb; Hamas celebrates

Real Madrid iconic forward Cristiano Ronaldo has donated €1.5 million to Palestinian children in Gaza, the Arabic version of the club’s Classico network reports.
The star forward gave his Golden Boot which he earned in 2011 to the Real Madrid foundation. The Spanish giants in their turn sold it at auction and will now donate the funds to schools in Gaza
According to various reports, the Real Madrid Foundation has helped to build 167 schools in 66 countries.
It’s not the first time Ronaldo has given to charity. Last year he sold most of his sports shoes at a Real Madrid Foundation auction which was also dedicated to raising funds for schools in Gaza.

Israel is expected to announce a unilateral ceasefire that isn't stipulated on an agreement with Hamas. Officials estimate that if Israel holds fire, Hamas and other Palestinian groups in Gaza will face heavy pressure to do so as well.

The Times of Israel Updates

Members of the inner cabinet conclude their meeting in Jerusalem.

Channel 2′s Udi Segal says that the first message to come out of the meeting is that Israel would not carry out a unilateral ceasefire, as was reported elsewhere.

Segal adds that the ministers’ decisions regarding a possible ceasefire were dispatched to government representatives in Cairo.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is reportedly on his way back to Israel from Egypt.

Reuters quotes Ban saying that there were “many details to work out” before a ceasefire could be reached. “But while that happens civilians continue to die.”

“I am particularly concerned about the spiral of violence at the time of intense efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and Israel,” Ban says speaking after a meeting with Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi.

A meeting of nine Israeli cabinet ministers over the future of the Gaza operation has ended. There appears to be no dramatic change in the course of the military offensive.

The inner security forum convened at 2:30 p.m. and the meeting ended just before 6 p.m.

Nato to supply Turkey with Patriot missiles

Turkey has reached an agreement with Nato for the stationing of Patriot missiles on its territory against possible attack from Syria, in a sign of the growing internationalisation of the 19-month conflict between the Assad regime and rebels.
