問問拉比們: 以色列能否和哈馬斯簽署和平協議?
Ask the Rabbis: Can Israel Sign a Peace Agreement With Hamas?

And you, for your part, must make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you must tear down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed Me — look what you have done! Judges 2:2 (The Israel Bible™)

As parts of an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire were being implemented, fighting again broke out between Hamas Islamists and Israel, raising the question of whether such a cessation is even possible.

Weekly riots on Israel’s southern border have resulted in hundreds of Palestinians killed. Accompanied by incendiary aerial devices, the riots have destroyed massive amounts of farmland and nature preserves in southern Israel. Accented by sporadic rocket fire by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the hostilities led Israel to take part in Egyptian-brokered ceasefire talks, leading to a transfer of $15 million by Qatar to pay beleaguered Gaza civil workers.

The talks seemed on track to bring quiet to the area when, on Sunday night, an IDF undercover intelligence mission went awry, leading to a firefight. A senior IDF officer was killed and another more junior officer wounded. A senior Hamas military officer, thought to be in charge of their terrorist tunnel operations, was killed as well as seven other members of Hamas’ military wing.

More than 500 projectiles were fired at Israel from Gaza over the next two days. The IDF responded by hitting 160 military targets in Gaza.

On Tuesday evening, Hamas and leaders of Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza announced that a ceasefire agreement with Israel had been worked out. The Israeli government neither confirmed nor denied the statement.

“Israel maintains its right to act. Requests from Hamas for a ceasefire came through four different mediators. Israel responded that the events on the ground will decide [if a ceasefire will go into effect. an Israeli official told Times of Israel, on condition of anonymity.

If true, the news of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas is unwelcome to many on the Israeli side. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the situation in a special seven-hour cabinet meeting. Four members of the cabinet responded that they opposed such an accommodation with Gaza’s rulers.

At the same time as the cabinet was meeting in Jerusalem, residents of southern Israel took to the streets, protesting a ceasefire with Gaza, demanding a clear and complete solution, an end to rocket attacks, and a return to normalcy and security.

“It’s better to suffer in the safe rooms, and once and for all for them to put an end to this,” Reut Bassis from Sderot told Channel 2 News. “I know that a month from now it will be the same thing again – another few days and again there will be missiles, and nothing will have changed. It’s unreasonable that this is how our lives look.”
