Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that he had accepted the proposal, but Hamas rejected the deal. It is thought to include hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the soldier, Sgt. Gilad Schalit.
Hamas said Netanyahu was lying about the mediation effort.
On Monday, German government spokesman Steffen Seibert confirmed that Israel had accepted a German-mediated offer.
He said that “so far, Hamas regrettably has not yet accepted this proposal.” He gave no details of the proposed deal.
The only people who should have say on this are the Israelis and their families who fight and join the IDF and fight
not the people who sit and do not fight
Hope it isn’t one for many, as it will open the door for more kidnapping!
