Tel Aviv, July 11 (RHC)-- Hamas political leader Khaled Meshaal has offered to renew the 2012 ceasefire based on three conditions: an end to the Israeli offensive, the release of prisoners initially freed under a prisoner swap but recently re-arrested in Israeli raids, and Israeli respect for the Palestinian unity government. Israeli officials have rejected Meshaal’s terms and vowed to continue the attack.
Meanwhile, Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz suggested a looming ground invasion, saying Israel "will have to take over Gaza temporarily, for a few weeks."
