US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday that the disarmament of Hamas and all terrorist groups in Gaza is necessary for any negotiation process aiming to resolve the ongoing conflict with Israel in a “lasting and meaningful way.”
Kerry vowed that the US was dedicated to working with Israel and the international community to disarm Gaza terror organizations.
The top US diplomat said he hoped progress could be made to reinstitute an initial humanitarian cease-fire that would eventually lead to a longer-term truce between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
“Today, we are continuing to work toward establishing an unconditional, humanitarian cease-fire – one that could honor Eid (al-Fitr), which starts now, and could stop the fighting,” Kerry said in Washington.
He said such a cease-fire must address an end to combat along with providing humanitarian aid to Gaza as well as ending the threat posed by terror tunnels leading from Gaza to Israel.
“The momentum generated by a humanitarian cease-fire is the best way to be able to negotiate and find out if you can put into place a sustainable cease-fire, one that addresses all the concerns,” he said.
The whole clip is less than 3 minutes.
I couldn’t even listen to the whole thing, I turned it off in the middle.
Hamas is using his people as human shields, he is killing his people not Isreal, Let Isreal finish the job they started. Stay out of It Kerry
Kerry doesnt know what he is talking about Hammas doesnt want piece he doesnt want the people of Isreal to live, they want all of Isreal, thats why they train there kids to go fight the jews in Isreal when they start to walk.
Last month? Last 14 years!!!
Your comment elicited the first chuckle I experienced since this operation began.Humor is a powerful weapon. You’re lucky to be blessed with it!
You don’t negotiate with terrorists who are bent on your destruction.
hey Kerry now you can get that nobel peace prize.
really? no.
but obama got one.
are you a president?
How does one at your age manage to be so flexible? Both feet in your mouth at once?? Amazing!
Yeah, right. Kerry, shut up and get a life. Exactly who benefits from your ‘humanitarian’ ceasefires, besides Hamas? You know that every time we agreed to a ceasefire, soldiers were killed? You know that Hamas announced yesterday that they reserve the right to fire on our soldiers, even during a ceasefire?
Gazan citizens don’t benefit, either, because Hamas is really good at misfiring rockets and killing its own citizens.
Kerry, please make a solidarity visit to Gaza and may a misfired rocket land on your head.
Somebody tell him you can’t walk two fences at the same time. We all know where your loyalties really lie Mr Kerry- with whomever has the popular vote (and that would not be us right now so..).
Maybe the US chose this idiot on purpose to send to the region so that nothing REALLY stands in Israel’s way to finally
get rid of the common enemy to US and ISRAEL.
‘A front ‘so to speak.
‘A pretty face’ with empty words.
Is this fellow really the secretary-of-state of The United States of America? This is what he comes up with after hearing Hamas say over and over again that its non-negotiable goal is to wipe Israel off the map – they say it loudly and clearly over and over again. let’s see now, John, which of their words didn’t you understand? How can you, in the same breath, say that Israel has the right to protect itself and destroy Hamas’ tunnels and arsenal, and then finish the sentence by saying that Israel should cease doing so for “humanitarian” reasons? Did I… Read more »
Kerry leave us alone before you become the laughing stock
of the civilized world.
Puts a whole new spin on the word jerk.
Hey Jhonny boy wanna buy a bridge in Brooklyn????
The same way he’s disarming Iran while still letting them enrich uranium…..
Israel has to do what’s best for israel not kerry
What happened to not negotiating with terrorist.
… How about Mr Kerry go and live in Sterot for a couple of weeks and then make the same speech – ‘put your money were your mouth is!’
BS”D brilliant like in NYC- anmisty if one turns in their guns
that worked great????
what is he talking about the tunnel attacks are not the only problem what about the rockets being shot at israel all day every day for the last month
disarm hamas – but stop attacking them….hmmm.
so how does he propose we accomplish that?
All he cares about is a cease fire he doesn’t care about what Israel will pay for it!
After trying desperately to save Hamas, he is now trying to save himself. L-O-S-E-R.
