Why is he discussing a cease-fire if Hamas must be stopped. Is anyone willing to stop them? Maybe these wise-guys in the “international community” should all GUARANTEE the cease-fire. If it is not adhered to in the strictest sense–let THEM send their boys out to Gaza to be blown to bits by terrorist hiding among the population and hiding out below hospitals and schools. That’s something to consider. Also makes you wonder why they are discussing a cease-fire with Israel and not Hamas?
