Israel plans ceasefire as tank fire kills two boys at UN school - but Hamas vows to fight on

Once again, Olmert has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. According to an unnamed Israeli official 'The goal is to announce, subject to cabinet approval, a suspension of military activities because we believe our goals have been attained.' Just what goals are they talking about? Certainly not victory or even the cessation of rockets from Gaza. However if their goal was to fight till they almost put Hamas out of business, then they have succeeded.

The only goal worth pursuing is unconditional surrender by Hamas, and stopping before achieving that is a waste of Israeli lives. Anything else is a cruel joke and will prolong the attacks on Israel.


I know it's crazy, but it's almost like Olmert is a Hamas mole, planted to bring about the downfall of Israel.

Israel is planning to halt its Gaza offensive without any agreement with Hamas, a senior Israeli official has said today, as Hamas vowed to fight on.
The news came after two young boys were killed last night at a UN school following Israeli tank fire.
The country's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is expected to address the nation following a security cabinet meeting this evening.

A senior official, who has asked not to be named, said: 'The goal is to announce, subject to cabinet approval, a suspension of military activities because we believe our goals have been attained.'
'There is no agreement with Hamas, and it is clear that if Hamas fires against Israeli soldiers or if rocket fire into Israel continues, Israel will reserve the right to act,' the official said.
