Breaking News: Hamas-Israel Cease-Fire To End
Thursday, December 18, 2008 at 19:24
According to Al Jazeera, a Hamas official has said --- one day before the truce between Hamas and Israel is to expire --- that "the calm is over".
Ayman Taba said after talks between Palestinian groups in Gaza that the cease-fire would not be renewed "because the enemy did not abide by its obligations" to ease the economic blockade and halt military operations.
The Israeli Government has not yet responded to the announcement.

Western governments aside, the western media’s relative silence and indifference towards the Israeli regime’s barbaric siege of the Gaza Strip is truly amazing. Such crimes against humanity are regularly accepted as appalling, yet somehow necessary in order to protect the interests of the so-called Free World.
Egypt accuses Hamas of sabotaging internal Palestinian dialogue.
