P F Tinmore, et al,
I'm not sure that rejecting HAMAS Blackmail offers for peace is the same as an "out'n'out rejection.
I understand the Israelis agreed to a 12-hour humanitarian lull in fighting beginning Saturday morning.
Secretary of State John Kerry is simply messing the negotiation up to no end. If the US merely rewords the HAMAS demands, and then tries to put that across to the Israelis, it is, of course, going to be rejected. You simply don't reward terrorism by giving into the demands they make. That is foolish. And, you don't start a disarmament process and leave it half finished.
The US needs to step away from the process and let it resolve itself. Palestinians will not negotiate in good faith unless they are ready. And the HAMAS Government is not yet ready.
Most Respectfully,
R

(COMMENT)By the way don't rag on Hamas for rejecting the ceasefire. Israel rejected a ceasefire also.
Israel rejects ceasefire plan, source says as death toll nears 850
