Israel will not negotiate a ceasefire before Hamas pays a price for its attacks, a senior Israeli official said on Tuesday.
“Hamas fired a bunch of rockets, and then of course they want a ceasefire, that’s perfect for them, they don’t have to pay a price for firing on Jerusalem and then 500 rockets,” the official said.
“There will be a ceasefire when we’re ready for it,” he added.
The official would not confirm or deny a report on Channel 12 news that Israel declined an Egyptian offer to negotiate a ceasefire, nor that Egypt put forward an offer at all.
