Palestinian ceasefire demands released
The Palestinian delegation in Cairo representing the Hamas-Palestinian Authority unity government releases its list of demands for a ceasefire, Ynet reports:
- Immediate IDF withdrawal from the Gaza Strip
- Lifting of the blockade and opening of the border crossings
- Extension of the fishing zone to 12 nautical miles
- Lifting of the civilian no-go zone near the Gaza border fence
- Creation of airport and seaport
- Rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip through international donors
- Release of the fourth tranche of prisoners from the failed talks between Israel and the PA
- Release of the prisoners set free in the Gilad Shalit deal and rearrested during Operation Brother’s Keeper in the wake of the murder and kidnapping of the three Israeli teens, and the release of Palestinian legislators
After Hamas gunmen attacked an IDF force in Rafah at the start of a 72-hour ceasefire and snatched the body of a dead soldier, Israel said it would no longer negotiate ceasefires in the fighting in Gaza.
