US and Hamas terrorist supporters Qatar and Turkey again working on alternative ceasefire

US and Hamas terrorist supporters Qatar and Turkey again working on alternative ceasefire.(TOI).

Palestinian sources in Cairo revealed on Monday that the United States and Qatar have again renewed their attempts to reach an understanding on a ceasefire in Gaza, even as Palestinian factions meet Egyptian officials in Cairo to forge their own proposal.

Representatives of the US administration are in Cairo at the same time as a Palestinian delegation that includes senior officials from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Fatah.

The Palestinian sources suggested that the US-Qatari initiative slows and undermines the Egyptian efforts.

Sources told The Times of Israel that the Egyptian effort is focused on convincing Hamas to first stop fighting on the basis of the understandings obtained after Pillar of Defense in 2012, then moving to a broader ceasefire which will include demands on Israel to withdraw from Gaza and to ease restrictions at the border crossings and to allow the rehabilitation of Gaza.

The new Palestinian government would handle contacts between the sides over the border crossings, importing of goods, and the passage of businessmen into Israel and Gaza after the ceasefire takes effect.

Then, at a later stage, the sides would discuss other demands like the construction of a port and the opening of the Rafah crossing.Hmmm..........Israel's 'Staunchest Ally'. Read the full story here.
