Top Hamas Official Osama Hamdan: Ceasefire Should Include International Forces on June 4, 1967 Borders

In a statement to the Turkish Anadolu News Agency, posted on the Internet on July 31, 2014, top Hamas official Osama Hamdan said that the international forces would prevent Israel from repeating its "aggression."

Osama Hamdan: "We gave a clear response to the Egyptian (ceasefire) initiative. The Palestinian resistance factions unanimously rejected the Egyptian initiative, and for substantial reasons. We seek a new formula. We don't mind if Egypt adopts it, with the support of all the regional and international players, and this will constitute a new formula for a ceasefire. If there is an international resolution that seeks to end the occupation, it will have to include forces that will prevent the occupation... Sorry... I mean that a resolution that seeks to end this aggression will have to include forces that will end this aggression, and guarantee that it is not repeated. These forces will monitor Israel and prevent it from attacking the Palestinian people. These forces should deploy on the June 4, 1967 borders, and Israel should leave all these areas."
