The statement, he said, does not address Israel's demands for the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, a principle already established by previous interim agreements with the Palestinians.

Israel missile hits compound housing Gaza's largest hospital...
ReplyDeleteIsraeli missile struck a building inside the compound housing Gaza's largest hospital on Monday, medics and an AFP correspondent said.
The attack hit a building close to the main gate of Shifa hospital in Gaza City, medics said.
An AFP correspondent at the scene said a wall of a building inside the compound was damaged by a missile apparently fired by a drone.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army.
Statistics published by OCHA, the UN humanitarian agency, show that some 22 hospitals, clinics and medical centres have been hit and damaged by Israeli shelling since the devastating military operation began on July 8.
In a statement issued shortly before the strike, the World Health Organisation said it was "appalled" by the number of strikes on healthcare facilities and personnel.
"The World Health Organisation has been appalled by the continuing trend for healthcare facilities, staff and vehicles to come under direct fire in Gaza since the escalation of violence on 8 July 2014," a statement from the Geneva-based body said.
"It is vital for health facilities and staff to be able to perform their life-saving work without fear of attack," it said, recalling that all parties are obliged under international humanitarian law "to "protect medical services."
Children killed in refugee camp
Seven children were also killed when an Israeli missile slammed into a playground in a Gaza City refugee camp, a doctor at the city's main hospital said.
The missile struck a group of children running around at a public playground in the beachfront Shati refugee camp, a doctor from Shifa hospital told AFP.

Israel must prepare for 'lengthy' conflict, says Netanyahu...
ReplyDeleteIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said his country must prepare for a protracted conflict in Gaza.
The comments squash any hopes of a swift end to fighting that has already cost more than 1,000 lives.
In a televised address, Mr Netanyahu said that any solution to the crisis would require the demilitarisation of the Palestinian territory, which is controlled by Hamas Islamists and their militant allies.
"Israeli citizens cannot live with the threat from rockets and from death tunnels - death from above and from below," he said.
"We will not end this operation without neutralising the tunnels whose sole purpose is killing our citizens."
This afternoon, a huge explosion in a public garden in northern Gaza killed eight children and two adults, and wounded 40 others, Palestinian medics said.
Locals blamed the blast on an Israeli air strike, but Israel denied responsibility, saying it was a misfire by a rocket launched by Hamas militants......................http://www.rte.ie/news/2014/0728/633465-gaza-israel/
