Israel claimed soldier's kidnapping to break ceasefire: Hamas
2014-08-04
[Al Ahram] In a press statement issued on Sunday, Ezzat Al-Rasheq — member of Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,' political bureau — said that Israel falsely declared the abduction of a soldier in order to resume its offensive on the Gazoo Strip following a 72-hour ceasefire reached last Friday.

"Israel deceived UN chief the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon
... of whom it can be said to his credit that he is not Kofi Annan...
when it claimed the abduction of its soldier in Rafah, then later claimed he was killed in festivities, taking advantage of the whole situation to violate the ceasefire and commit horrifying massacres in southern Rafah against civilians, including women and kiddies," Al-Rasheq said.

Al-Rasheq called on the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
to change its "biased position" towards the Israeli occupation and apologise to the Paleostinian people for rushing to hold Hamas responsible for breaking the 72-hour ceasefire.

A planned 72-hour truce in the Gazoo Strip fell apart just hours after it was implemented on Friday morning as both sides accused the other of instigating the violence.

"We suspect that a group of Hamas terrorists, including a suicide kaboomer, kidnapped 2nd.Lt. Goldin at 9:30am and dragged him into a tunnel," the Israeli army said on its official Twitter account on Friday.

Hadar Goldin, 23, from Kfar Saba, was captured by Paleostinian fighters during festivities in the southern part of the territory, an Israeli military front man said.

However,
a woman is only as old as she admits...
in a statement by the Israeli army, a special committee led by the army's chief rabbi announced on Sunday that Goldin had died during a battle in Gazoo. There was no government word on the whereabouts of the soldier's remains.

According to British broadcaster Channel 4 news, the soldier is from a British Jewish family, and is also a third cousin of Israel's defence minister, Moshe Ya'alon.
