International Initiative: Open the Crossings and renew the negotiations.  The US, Great Britain, France and Germany are voting in the UN Security Council on a fixed ceasefire agreement. According to the report, the proposal includes the openings of the crossings into Gaza, the transfer of control to international forces, and negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

The proposal is led by Great Britain, Germany, France, and the United States. It is focused on the opening of the crossings into Gaza, the transfer of control of the crossings to international forces, the transfer of control in Gaza to the Palestinian Authority, and the resumption of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority based on the 1967 borders.   (???????? you've got to be kidding.....)

The process began to take shape following the failure of the talks in Cairo earlier this week. According to the report, the proposal also includes guarantees for Israel’s security and the creation of oversight to prevent Hamas from rearming themselves.  “We are deeply concerned about the violation of the humanitarian ceasefire that was reached via Egyptian mediation,” British Ambassador Mark Grant stated. All 15 members of the UN Security Council expressed support for the Egyptian initiative to reach a permanent ceasefire. The British Ambassador confirmed that a number of member states are working on formulating a draft resolution regarding the conditions for a permanent ceasefire in the region. The Associated Press reported that a resolution of this type drafted by Jordan was transferred to UN Security Council members. The Jordanian Ambassador responded to the reports and stated: “we are taking the time to speak with the Americans and Europeans, because the ultimate goal is for the Security Council to be effective.”
