  1. The president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, announced Sunday night that Russian President Vladimir Putin is willing to hold direct talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians; al-Sisi added that he believes that Israel is becoming more and more convinced of the need for peace.

    When asked about Russia’s role in the peace process, al-Sisi replied “we support any positive effort from any country involved, and from all those who are able to influence (the peace process), no matter if it’s the US, EU, or Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin updated me and told me that he invited both Netanyahu and Abbas to meet in Moscow for direct talks.

    “I believe that Israel is becoming more and more convinced as to the importance of a peace agreement, and that’s a positive sign,” replied the Egyptian president. “Unfortunately, the process is stagnant, and there needs to be efforts as long as there is an initiative from the Israelis, Palestinians, other countries in the region, and the international community.”

    I am wondering whether he is lying regarding Israel becoming convinced of the need for peace.

    Btw, the latest news are:

    The IDF is reported to have continued a combined air and artillery assualt on Hamas targets in Gaza Sunday night in retaliation for rockets fired from the Strip into Sderot earlier on Sunday afternoon.

    “While these strikes are unusual, we have no intention to escalate,” said Israeli official, continuing “there are still 1,000 trucks full of goods slated to enter Gaza today.”

    High-ranking IDF officers have announced that Hamas has suffered the most extensive blows to its infrastructure since Operation Protective Edge; the officers added that they ‘will not allow Hamas to do anything it wants’; Former head of the Israeli Navy: ‘We won’t tolerate any rocket fire from the Strip.’

    Marom also stressed that the unusual Israeli response perfectly corresponds to Avigdor Lieberman becoming the minister of defense.

    “The minister of defense is changing the game a little. It’s not a dramatic change, but this series of strikes, coming in two waves, and hitting meaningful targets—as opposed to just hitting Hamas training sites which are basically just sand dunes—is in fact a change, a change which and I think is welcome and correct,” Marom added.

    1. As I said before, the only hope I see for improving the situation is a dramatic elevation of the living standards of Palestinians. Dramatic. Talks and bombs are more of the same old and will be just as successful.
