The article claims that most casualties in Gaza are ‘non-combatants’. But that is based on Hamas-controlled numbers, and doesn’t reflect that the majority of those killed are young men of fighting age, or that Hamas doesn’t like to acknowledge the killing of its fighters.
Via ABC:
Hamas has rejected offers made in Cairo to Palestinian negotiators seeking to end Israel’s offensive in the Gaza Strip and raised the possibility of renewed fighting when the current truce expires.
Israel said it had also not yet accepted any proposals made in the Egyptian-mediated talks but, like the Palestinians, its envoys would continue attending them on Sunday (local time).
The ceasefire is due to conclude on Monday night.
Hamas, Gaza’s dominant Islamist group, wants an Israeli-Egyptian blockade on the coastal enclave lifted, as well as the establishment of a seaport and airport, as part of any enduring cessation of hostilities with the Jewish state.
