The next phase of the violence that killed nearly 200 palestinians in gaza is in flux today with a ceasefire still on the table. On tuesday, the Egyptian Government proposed a temporary halt to violence in the reopening of gazas border crossings, followed by talks in cairo a longterm truce. Israel security cabinet has endorsed a proposal, but hamas has yet to officially respond. The hamas military wing has rejected the pact as a surrender, saying the ceasefire fails to meet any of its core demands. These include a lifting of the siege of gaza, the release of prisoners recently detained in israeli raids, and and to is really attacks on the occupied territories, and respect for the palestinian government. Earlier today, israeli Prime Minister and human netanyahu vowed to widen the attack on gaza if hamas reject the ceasefire and if rocket fire continues. We agreed to the egyptian proposal in order to give an opportunity for the demilitarization of the gaza strip from missiles and rocket and tunnels. Through diplomatic means. If hamas does not accepted ceasefire proposal, israel would have all International Just agenda missy legitimacy to achieve the required quiet. The threat of more violence follows a week that saw israel kill at least 192 palestinians in a massive Bombing Campaign on one of the worlds most densely populated areas. The United Nations estimates more than 80 of gazas dead are civilians, including 36 children. More than 1000 rockets from gaza have hit israel over the same period, with just a fraction landing in urban areas. Around one dozen israelis have been wounded. There have been no israelis reported killed. For more were joined by amira hass, the only israeli journalist to have spent years having in and reporting from gaza and the west bank. She is joining us from ra mallah. Can you talk about the latest development, the egyptian proposal for ceasefire, israel hamas weighing it . Hamasis exactly because feels this was a proposal boiled up with israel, without any consultation with hamas. This is something forced on them and reported to the media and not through negotiations. Everybody knows leadership of egypt right now is an enemy of hamas, an enemy of the muslim brothers. They feel humiliated and feel it is not meant to bring progress and change for the palestinians in gaza, but to further marginalize them as a movement, as a political movement. You have spoken to members of hamas and interview them. What demand do they have for ceasefire that they would respect . Are to returnds first to the 2012 agreement or understandings, that israel should open the crossing for at material,s and raw and then allow people to leave. They more or less neglected the deal. They hoped israel would allow palestinians leaving from the northern west Northern Gaza Strip to the west bank. This is something they have neglected. They dont have much hope about this. But at least for goods and raw materials, and people moving through egypt. This is one. Another thing, they see israel does not abide by commitments. We need guarantees that it does. Time we had some understanding for for example, the fishermen. It was agreed in 2012, the fisherman would be able to fish. Nd not be shot at as israel does shoot at them. Another one is the release of all of the prisoners in the last theor three years, with shalit exchange of prisoners. Israel in the past two months arrested most of them for many of them, the great majority of them who are associated with hamas. There is a demand to release them again. There is a demand these are hamassic demands that activists in the west bank the been arrested should also be released. , he was told by somebody said these demands are very reasonable and even minimal. We should even demand more. We should demand that israel does not hide the reconsolidation government, for example, but allow we should demand people leave gaza strip and be able to reconnect with the west bank. Are amiraas demands hass quite basic. Quick so far amira hass, in the u. S. , the coverage of the egyptian says fire proposal is here is the seas file that israel says it will embrace, it will stop the attack, and hamas is probably going to reject it. That is the story here in the United States and is being told. Unfortunately, just as the story has been told that israel will protect in the palestinians are the aggressor. I dont remember which channel, but there was this absurd report showing destruction of the palestinian homes bombed by israel, and it was an israeli house. That was Diane Sawyers report on abc, showing weeping palestinian mother in front of her destroyed home and said palestinians destroy this israeli home. So far, at least the western community, is not appalled by onslaught, and, as somebody told me, this is according to International Law, then there is something stinks with International Law. A diplomat told me that. Convincing his government to have a clear stance it is true according to the International Law, palestinian law palestinian rockets are against International Law and also targeting civilians. [indiscernible] israelis. Many, many somehow, ridiculing the security that hamas has suffered a big blow, a gray blue, which has pened, militarily speaking a great blow, which is happened, militarily speaking. , also the opened end of hamas behind hamas. Of people see the ability hamas and jihad to launch missiles at israel, toward israel, while theyre being detected so severely by such chong military power has always been an achievement. Somebody told me it is not about killings, but a message a message that if you expect palestinians to give up the struggle against the occupation, this is how palestinians understand the launching of missiles. Mediatrue international and is really gives a lot of prominence israeli gives a lot of prominence. But the feeling one is standing up against israel, and something the Palestinian Authority has not done. Humiliating the Palestinian Authority for so many years, even though the Palestinian Authority has made some concessions and agreed with the many demands of the Israeli Government. People are weighing one against the other. Even secular, feel that right now hamas has protected them and saying, no, were not going to give up the struggle against occupation. Us aira hass, can you give rundown of what you see as israels goal here in the gaza conf
