Egypt Outraged at Hamas Missile Fire on Tel Aviv


(Israel Hayom) Daniel Siryoti - A senior Egyptian official described to Israel Hayom a meeting he attended with Hamas officials in Gaza on Thursday evening. "We believed Hamas would accept" Israel's answers "and facilitate a more stable and long-term cease-fire." Then an aide came in with news of a Hamas rocket attack on Tel Aviv. The Egyptian delegation head told Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, "We are sitting here to hammer out the details of a cease-fire with Israel and behind our backs, you are authorizing your people to fire missiles at Tel Aviv? If Israel decides to launch a comprehensive military operation in Gaza, this time we won't do a thing to stop the Israeli attack, even if the Israelis decide to dismantle your rule in Gaza by assassinating each and every one of you....You've also gambled with our own safety in Gaza by shooting at Tel Aviv while we are here!"
