| Palestinians expect truce extension in case of no deal | |
| 2014-08-19 | |
Representatives of Paleostinian resistance groups holding indirect negotiations for a lasting ceasefire with Israel in Gazoo say they expect the truce to be extended if an agreement is not reached. The head of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... movement within the Paleostinian delegation said on Monday that Paleostinians do not want to go back to war. The comments come as the latest round of negotiations between Israelis and Paleostinians has not produced any results so far as a five-day ceasefire in the coastal enclave is nearing its end. The two sides in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, have just hours left to either reach a deal, accept a further extension of truce, or risk a resumption of the fighting. Paleostinian negotiators have hinted that no long-term deal will be signed with Israel if the Paleostinians' demands are not met. The Paleostinian resistance movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, wants the seven-year siege of Gazoo to be removed, but Tel Aviv claims it will only take the measure if Hamas is disarmed. Israel launched a major military offensive against the blockaded Gazoo Strip on July 8, which raged for more than a month. Hamas and Israel had agreed on the extension of a 72-hour truce for five more days late on August 13. The five-day truce is due to expire Monday at midnight. | |
