Minister says Israel not seeking ceasefire
Communication Minister Gilad Erdan, minutes after he exits the security cabinet meeting, tells Channel 2: “We are not seeking any ceasefire [at this point], but at the end of any military operation there will be a diplomatic process.”
He clarifies that Israel is not opposed to the Egypt-brokered negotiations, but must be sure that it will gain from it and that quiet will be restored in the south.
For now, the IDF is being granted freedom of movement, he says, in order to complete the mission of dismantling the tunnels.
