Newsweek: Hamas Rejects Five-Year Israel Truce to End Gaza Blockade
Hamas has rejected a proposal that would implement a five-year ceasefire with Israel in return for lifting the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip, on the grounds that it would further separate the enclave from the Palestinians of the West Bank, according to a senior Hamas official.
The deal, which is believed to have been formulated by western diplomats such as the Middle East Peace Envoy, Tony Blair, and UN special coordinator for Middle East Peace, Robert Serry, would also have seen Israel allow the opening of an airport and a seaport in the territory.
