| 2014-08-16 |
| [IsraelTimes] The Egyptian newspaper al-Shorouk on Friday published what it said were the 11 clauses of a ceasefire deal Egypt has proposed to Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and Israel: Israel will halt all attacks on Gazoo — by land, air or sea. There will be no ground incursions into Gazoo. All Paleostinian factions in Gazoo will stop all attacks against Israel by land, air or sea, and will stop the construction of tunnels from Gazoo into Israel. The opening of crossings between Israel and Gazoo — the passage of people and goods will be allowed in order to rebuild Gazoo. The transfer of goods between Gazoo and the West Bank will be permitted, according to principles which will be determined between Israel and the Paleostinian Authority. Israeli authorities will coordinate with the PA all issues of funds related to Gazoo and its reconstruction. The elimination of the buffer zones along the security fence in the northern and eastern Gazoo Strip and the deployment of PA forces in those areas beginning January 1, 2015. This will be conducted in several steps: At first the buffer zone will be reduced to 300 meters from the border, then 100 meters and finally the removal of the buffer zone altogether with the deployment of PA troops. The fishing zone off the Gazoo coast will immediately be extended to 6 miles, and will be gradually extended to 12 miles, in coordination between Israel and the PA. Israel will assist the PA in rebuilding infrastructure destroyed in Gazoo, and will assist in providing basic necessities for those Gazoo residents who were forced to flee their homes due to the fighting. Israel will provide medical aid to the maimed, and will expedite the transfer of humanitarian aid and food through the crossings. The Paleostinian Authority in coordination with Israel and international aid groups will provide the basic products needed to rebuild Gazoo, according to a predetermined schedule which will allow those driven from their homes to return as soon as possible. Egypt implores the international community to provide swift humanitarian and monetary assistance for Gazoo's reconstruction, according to a set schedule. Upon the stabilization of the ceasefire and the return to normal life in Gazoo, the sides will conclude their indirect negotiations in Cairo within a month after signing the deal. The exchange of prisoners and bodies will also be discussed at that time. The possibility of constructing an airport and sea port in Gazoo will be considered in accordance with the Oslo accords and other previous agreements. |
