Scoop: Israel guarantees to never again bomb Gaza Strip
Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA 11 October 2014

In a dramatic development before international conference for Gaza
reconstruction to be held in Cairo meeting this Sunday, Israel can guaranty
to never again bomb the Gaza Strip.

Contrary to recent statements by American and other officials, the Israeli
guaranty to never again bomb the Gaza Strip is not conditioned on "progress"
in reaching a "two state solution".

Instead, Israel makes this guarantee without adding a single condition to
the agreements that the PLO has already signed with Israel. Agreements
witnessed by many of the key participants in the upcoming Cairo conference,
including the USA, Russian Federation, European Union, and Egypt.

It should be noted that Mahmoud Abbas has repeatedly publicly declared that
the reunited PA will honor agreements.

The agreements provide that:

#1. The Gaza Strip be demilitarized, with strict limits on the size of the
exclusive PA security force deployed in the area as well as restrictions on
the weapons that this force has.

#2. The PA security force act to maintain security and thwart attacks
against Israel originating from the Gaza Strip.

As long as the PA honors these signed agreements, Israel guarantees to never
again bomb the Gaza Strip.

In a related development, Oslo Agreement architect, Yossi Beilin, called
last Friday in an interview on Israel Radio for the PA to set a deadline of
a few weeks for Hamas to close down its Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
