In response to a question raised in yesterday’s Partner’s teleconference with Abu Vilan, there’s a news report (ironically from a right-wing news source) announcing the Meretz party call for a unilateral ceasefire. We now know that Israel observed an Egyptian effort to secure a ceasefire for six hours today, but when Hamas continued its rocket attacks, Israel resumed its air offensive. Here is part of that Jewish Press online article on the Meretz position:
Meretz Chairwoman Zahava Gal-On said Monday that Israel should declare a unilateral ceasefire in Gaza and call off Operation Protective Edge. “We cannot eliminate the terrorist infrastructure,” Gal-on told Israel Radio. “… and the images being broadcast around the world are causing damage.”
