Hingga saat ini saya anggap politik Morsi tentang Palestina baik sekali..

Dia jelas menginginkn pemecahan masaalah Palestina secara damai, tanpa "declare 
war against anybody".

Beda dengan politik Iran...

Egypt negotiates ceasefire in Gaza; Mursi vows to `stand by Palestinians'

A ceasefire between Israel and armed Palestinian groups in Gaza, negotiated 
with the help of Egypt, came into force early on Thursday, a Palestinian source 
told AFP. "The Egyptians negotiated a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian 
armed groups," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity, without 
giving further details. Tensions flared on Tuesday after militants fired six 
rockets at Israel that wounded two people.

The negotiated ceasefire came into effect after Egyptian President Mohammed 
Mursi said during his first Eid al-Adah speech on Wednesday that "without 
declaring war against anyone," Egypt would do its best to support Palestinian 
in their struggle against Israeli occupation.

"We will never accept any assault or siege on the Palestinian people. Egypt 
provides Palestine with all its needs such as food and clothing," the 
Cairo-based Ahram Online quoted Mursi as saying.

"The blood of Palestinians is our blood, their life is our life and their pains 
are our pains. However, supporting Palestine does not mean that we will declare 
war against anybody," he added in reference to Israel. Mursi did not name 
Israel directly, thereby maintaining the same pattern he has followed in his 
speeches since his inauguration as Egypt president, Ahram said.

Surge in violence

The latest surge in violence started early Tuesday when a roadside bomb 
severely wounded an Israeli soldier. That attack was claimed by the armed wing 
of the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Then on Tuesday evening, Palestinian militants fired six rockets at Israel, 
shortly after a high-profile visit to Gaza by Qatar's Emir Sheikh Hamad bin 
Khalifa al-Thani.

In response, Israeli aircraft killed two militants from Hamas' armed wing, the 
Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, in northern Gaza. Palestinian militants hit back 
with even more rocket fire.

An early-morning Israeli raid near southern city of Rafah Wednesday killed a 
third militant from the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC). Another Hamas 
militant hurt in air strikes died of his injuries later, medics said.

Militants from Hamas and the PRC claimed responsibility for the rocket fire.

"Hamas will receive its punishment for what has happened here," Israeli Defense 
Minister Ehud Barak said Wednesday.

"If they cannot be calmed, and the rockets continue, then the IDF (military) 
will act," Barak added.

He was speaking as he toured the area around Gaza, hours after the strikes that 
had wounded the two Thai workers and hurt four other people.

Since the start of 2012, nearly 600 rockets and mortars had been fired at 
southern Israel, he said.

After the negotiated ceasefire, no further firing of missiles was detected from 
7:30 pm (1730 GMT) on Wednesday, according to the Israeli army.

Israeli officials said the government had received messages from Hamas calling 
for a ceasefire, Israeli public radio reported.

The only crossing between Gaza and Israel in the north of the Palestinian 
territory was blocked meanwhile, preventing dozens of people from travelling, 
including patients, said officials.

Netanyahu's warning

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned any continuation of rocket 
fire would prompt a "much more extensive" Israeli response.

"We neither chose nor initiated this escalation but if it continues we are 
prepared for much more extensive and deeper action," Netanyahu said. He was 
speaking during a tour of the Iron Dome anti-missile battery near Ashkelon, 
which brought down eight rockets during the day.

"In any case, we will continue with preventative operations. Whoever intends to 
attack Israeli citizens needs to know that he will bear the consequences."

Netanyahu also said he had decided to increase protection for Israeli 
communities located near the Gaza border but not covered by the Iron Dome 
system.

Meanwhile, the Hamas government issued a statement "condemning the Zionist 
aggression against the Gaza Strip," and warning of its consequences.

It called on Arab leaders to visit the Gaza Strip in solidarity with its 
people, while expressing satisfaction at "the historic visit of the emir of 
Qatar."

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said Israel "bears full responsibility for 
what happens to our people in Gaza."

U.N. peace envoy Robert Serry, deploring the escalation, called on all parties 
to exercise utmost restraint.
