"The business leaders appealed to militant groups to agree not to carry out any attacks near the Gaza crossings, including the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt and the Karni commercial crossing between Gaza and Israel."

Hmmm. Palestinians asking the militants to stop some of their attacks on Israelis. I wonder what those who claim that that the IDF is randomly attacking Gaza civilians with no purpose other than to kill Palestinians - would conclude about this result that could possibly reduce the killing all around.

Hopefully, they might realize the obvious - that the only action by Israel that can reliably reduce the attacks by the militants and the resulting suffering of the Palestinians at the hands of the IDF - is collective punishment severe enough that it causes Palestinians to insist that their government make peace with Israel - not war.

:eyes:

Isreal may be killing some Palestinians in their ops to capture terrorists - but it will be the cries of the business leaders that will have the most effect IMO. And the sooner that happens the fewer Palestinians will die.
