No Signs of Imminent Truce, as Netanyahu Signals Hamas Demands Are Unrealistic
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is saying publicly that Operation Protective Edge is continuing in full force, and privately that Hamas' conditions for a cease-fire are a non-starter. "As long as Hamas has closed the door to the cease-fire, the other [military] option will be pursued vigorously," one Israeli official said. He noted that compared to Israel's previous military operations over the past decade, there is much less pressure on Israel from abroad - especially from the Arab world.
