Vice Premier Haim Ramon reacted harshly to reports of an imminent Gaza cease-fire, calling it a victory for radical Islam.
"I am against a truce, because it is another triumph for radical Islam. It won in Lebanon and now it is about to win in Gaza. So what is the point of being moderate? Why would Hamas be interested in a resolution?" said Ramon at a Haifa University conference.
Zevulun Orlev called the agreement "a balloon that will burst" and added that "[a] ceasefire agreement without Gilad Schalit is a moral crime that conveys the message of abandoning the kidnapped soldier to his fate."
