Israel’s government agreed to a bilateral cease-fire with Hamas on Thursday to halt nearly two weeks of fighting that has left hundreds dead and parts of the impoverished Gaza Strip reduced to rubble. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Security Cabinet agreed “to accept the Egyptian initiative for a bilateral cease-fire, which will take effect at a later date,” the government said in a statement.
The truce comes after international diplomatic efforts and growing pressure from Israel’s closest ally, the United States, to bring an end to the most intense conflict between Israel and Hamas since the 2014 war in Gaza. Senior Hamas leader Osama Hamdan told Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen TV channel that the cease-fire would begin Friday at 2 a.m. local time (7 p.m. ET). “We obtained guarantees from the mediators that the aggression on Gaza will stop,” he said. The Egyptian government confirmed the time of the “mutual and simultaneous” cease-fire in a statement.
After more than 10 days of aerial attacks killed at least 230 Palestinians in Gaza and 12 Israelis, according to officials on both sides, what began with clashes that first erupted months ago in Jerusalem boiled over into a conflict that spread far beyond the city’s ancient walls — leading to a wave of communal unrest within Israel and protests across the world.
Now we need to understand why it was decided to agree that the ceasefire will not be immediate but “will take effect at a later time”. Could it be Bibi’s new trap to accuse Hamas of some sudden attack and have an alibi for not respecting the provisional truce ???

“Determined to continue to destroy Hamas”. This is the meaning of the latest declarations issued by the (pro tempore) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in response to the soft appeal of American President Joseph Biden for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. There, under the air and artillery bombings of the Israel Defense Forces, together with dozens of alleged leaders of the Palestinian organization of Hamas, at least 64 children and many other civilians have already died with a toll that has already exceeded 200 victims.
Biden spoke earlier with Netanyahu. The commander-in-chief relayed that he expected a “significant de-escalation” regarding the recent deadly clashes along the Gaza Strip. To date, thousands of rockets have been launched between Israeli and Palestinian forces, with the death toll rising. Israeli Prime Minister appeared to brush off Biden’s pressing calls for a cease-fire on Wednesday, telling reporters that operations along the Gaza Strip would continue until objectives are met.
Netanyahu’s latest remarks came after he had already held a telephone conversation with Biden earlier in the day, and also toured a military headquarters. The prime minister stated that while he “greatly appreciates the support of the American president,” the ongoing military operation against Hamas’ military wing would stay the course. “I am determined to continue this operation until its goal is achieved – to bring back peace and security to you, the citizens of Israel,” Netanyahu said, pointing out that “every day we are hitting more capabilities of the terror organizations, bringing down more terror towers, hitting more weapons caches.”
In recent days, the IDF air force has destroyed not only buildings and underground tunnels used by Palestinian guerrillas but also some underground launch points from which Hamas fired rockets and also the famous long-range Ayyash missile.
This has considerably weakened the offensive capacity of the Palestinian paramilitary organization which targeted the Israeli territories after the persecutions and arrests carried out by the Tel Aviv authorities against Muslims in East Jerusalem during the Ramadan prayers in the al-Aqṣā mosque, which have outraged both representatives of Orthodox Jews and Christians.
The infamous Bibi, considered by many military geopolitical commentators to be the author of crimes against humanity for the disproportionate use of bombing (even against Syria due to the presence of the Iranian Quds Forces), can afford the luxury of not responding to the requests of the American president because the White House showed the velvet glove in the diplomatic field, repeatedly opposing the veto to the UN resolutions proposed in the Security Council by various countries, as confirmed yesterday.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, in a conversation with US State Secretary Antony Blinken on Wednesday, told the latter that Tel Aviv will need another few days to complete military operations in Gaza, having his counterpart responding that the US expects them to end soon, Axios reported, citing an Israeli official. In the call, Blinken reportedly informed Ashkenazi that the US will not support the French initiative on Gaza at the UN Security Council, but American backing for Israel on the Gaza issue, particularly at the UN, cannot last much longer.
The State Department issued a statement after the call, saying that the Secretary and the Israeli FM discussed “efforts to end the violence, which has claimed the lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians including children”. “The Secretary noted that the United States would remain engaged with Israel, the Palestinian Authority and regional stakeholders in the days ahead, and reinforced the message that the US expects to see de-escalation on the path to a ceasefire”, the statement said.
Earlier in the day, France, together with Tunisia, Egypt and Jordan, introduced a draft resolution at the UN Security Council, calling for a ceasefire and humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip amid heated tensions between Israel and Hamas.
Meanwhile, in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, former Republican US President George W. Bush, known for supporting the Democratic candidate Biden during the electoral campaign in a perfect “Deep State” strategy typical of the influence of the Zionist Lobbies, also intervened.
Bush claimed, while speaking to the Fox News on Wednesday, that Iran’s influence has contributed to the situation unfolding in the Gaza Strip and in Israel, aimed at Tel Aviv, which, in turn, acts out of concern for its “national security.” Bush raised the subject while presenting a new book, “Out of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants,” devoted to Iranian activist Mariam Memarsadeghi.
When asked about the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Palestinians, Bush suggested that what “you’re seeing playing out is Iranian influence targeted toward Israel.” “The best approach with regard to Iran is to understand that their influence is dangerous for world peace that they are very much involved with extremist movements in Lebanon and Syria and Yemen, and they are aiming to spread their influence”, he said.
Former US president also has referred to the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – the deal that former US President Donald Trump withdrew from in 2018, prompting Tehran to begin to abandon its nuclear-related commitments under the agreement.

Talks resumed last month with JCPOA participants in Vienna, in an effort to bring the US back to the deal. On Wednesday, Russia’s Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, said the participants of the talks assume that the US will return to the deal.
“Any deal that is done has got to not only focus on its nuclear capabilities, but also its influence in the Middle East. And you know, any deal, you’ve got to keep in mind the dangers of an aggressive Iran to our allies, and to stability, so it has to be a comprehensive look,” Bush said.
But Bush perhaps forgot that the uranium enrichment program in Iranian nuclear power plants resumed with intensity for retaliation of the killer drone attack ordered by President Donald Trump to eliminate General Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Forces of the Pasdaran (the Guards of the Islamic Revolution) who fundamentally helped Syrian President Bashar Al Assad defeat ISIS.

A CHISTIAN CAN’T BE A ZIONIST. A Christian should respect Ebrew and Jews tradition in memory of the same God Jahvè. the Patriarchs, the Old Testament and Jesus’ lineage.
Zionism is a Geopolitical Invention by Freemasonry and Askenazi-Kazharian mobster. I explain well this in my report Zionist Lobby 1 (link inside article)
I don’t think there will be a ceasefire! Now is the best time to destroy Israel’s image in the world. IRGC just announced, regardless of US sanctions and maximum pressure, Sepah h-Iran will intensify its aid to Palestine and defend its rights.
Kill ratio in missle attacks 20 to I in favor of Israel. Used to be 200 to 1?
Palestine fighting back is more effective than before and those 12 Israelis killed is crowbar that forced ceasefire if it really happens that is
The designation of, ‘Christian-Zionist’ is an OXYMORON! JESUS, if He would return, would KICK the, HELL out of the Inhumane Zionist Murderers! JESUS would chase the Demonic Zionist Creatures out of the ‘HOLYLAND-Palestine’, like He chased the Merchants of the SANHEDRIN, who turned His Fathers’ TEMPLE into a Slaughterhouse! Pray for the return of JESUS? DOWN with the Demonic Zionist Zealots, Enemies of Mankind! AMEN!
Zionism is the CURSE of Mankind! Zionist Zealots like SATANyahu are Demonic Creatures, they provoke , instigate, assassinate, set up, ‘False Flag’ attacks; “LAVON Affair”, “USS LIBERTY”- http://www.holocaustonthehighseas.com these two attacks failed to produce the desired result! BUT, who placed Controlled Demolition into the, WTC. Towers #1,#2,#7 to PULL them DOWN and at the cost of 2977 innocent Collateral Victims DRAG the ‘Land of the Free(? WE are ENSLAVED) into the HELL HOLE of the Middle East that the Zionist Apartheid TALMUDIC-Supremacist TERROR state has made out of the Middle East-PALESTINE! There is no RED LINE for the, Zionist Apartheid TALMUDIC-Supremacist TERROR State of Israel! Anyone who protects, promotes, supports the Zionist Cause, is an ENEMY of Mankind! Down with Zionism
Talk to any Christian Zionist and he will tell you that whatever the Ashkenazim choose to do in Palestine is just fine. Pastor John Hagee, Trump’s “spiritual” advisor and the leader of Christians United For Israel has made it clear that the Palestinians have brought this violence on themselves. He’s even claiming that all the deaths in Gaza are the result of Hamas rocket misfires – “It’s the terrorists that are killing their own people!” This is supposedly all part of God’s plan to rid the Holy Land of “unbelievers” so their warrior messiah can return to Earth to finish the job. They throw millions of dollars at Likud each year so they can continue the important job of ethnic cleansing in Palestine.
Pastor John Hagee can not be classed as a Christian. Here is what makes a difference between people that understand the issue V’s American’s blind following the Zionists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49Ly1wZSxnw
50 million US Christian Zionists including my crazy brother-in-law beg to differ. By the way, every single one of them voted for Trump in the last election.
