No ceasefire while rockets fall, Israel says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJerusalem is nixing the 72-hour ceasefire proposal as long as rockets continue to be launched at the country’s south, a senior Israeli official tells The Times of Israel. “As we speak, they continue to target the communities on our side of the border. It’s clear there’s no ceasefire.”
An Israeli delegation will not return to the negotiating table until there’s a ceasefire, the senior official adds. Responding to reports that the Palestinians have accepted a 72-hour truce, the official said, “Actions speak louder than words.”
