DOHA, Qatar – Hamas' political chief rejected Israeli conditions for a Gaza cease-fire Friday and demanded an immediate opening of the besieged territory's borders, taking a tough line as he asked a summit of Arab countries to back him by cutting off any ties with Israel.

Despite the hard-line comments by the Syrian-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, Israel and Egyptian mediators were expressing optimism a cease-fire could be reached. Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said he was hopeful that Israel is "entering the endgame" on its Gaza offensive and that a "sustained and durable" stop to Hamas rocket fire on southern Israel was near.
A top Israeli envoy, Amos Gilad, held talks with Egyptian officials for a second straight day on a cease-fire proposal put forward by Egypt. An Egyptian security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks, said "signs are encouraging for a breakthrough" in negotiations in Cairo for a truce.

The impact of Mashaal's comments was not immediately clear, but they could muddle the diplomatic efforts for a halt in the now 3-week-old Israeli offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Damascus-based Hamas leader was speaking at an Arab summit in the Qatari capital of Doha that pro-U.S. Egypt and Saudi Arabia boycotted, fearing Hamas would use it to bolster a hard-line stance and undermine the negotiations.

What you conveniently left out of the article was the following: ....Under the Egyptian proposal, fighting would stop immediately for 10 days, but Israeli forces would remain in place in Gaza and the border crossings into the territory would remain closed......

Mashaal insisted Israel was to blame because of the crippling blockade it imposed on the tiny Mediterranean coastal strip since Hamas took power there in 2007. Mashaal said refused to renew a 6-month-old truce with Israel that ran out in December because the period of relative calm had not led to an end to the closure. Israel says the closure is needed to prevent weapons from reaching Hamas, but it has also caused months of widespread shortages and suffering in Gaza.

I'm not saying Hamas is made up of a bunch of good guys, but Israel has choked off Gaza for a while now, and the Palestinian people there are suffering.

I didn't left anything. I just follow the Livedaily policy not to post the whole article, but just a quote of it. But I provided a direct link to the whole article and everyone can read it in full lenth. If you think Israel chocked Gaza so bad why they still send bombs to our cities? And if they were so "peacfull" why they send this bombs in the every day's basis for last couple years? Also why instead of building themselves a better life, feed the people and maide something usefull with the money they got from all around the world, they instead built tunnels, bunkers, collect all kinds of of weapons, which costed allot of money? If you will find the answers on this questions let me know.
I really got tired to explain things, which nobody know or don't care to know. Not you not anyone who siting in their houses in front of their PC's or TV hardly would understand, unless they came to war zone and live it themselves. There are so many people and each of them have their own truth according to their likes or dislikes or to their opinion. Palestinian people have their truth, Israeli people have their truth and each of PC's user on the world have each their own. Nobody can see the whole picture. Everyone just see what they wants and believe.
