Hamas Resists Kerry's Attempts At Cease-Fire Deal As Fighting Rages

Hamas wants the Egyptian/Israeli blockade lifted so as to facilitate continued access to weapons in exchange for a cease fire? 

That is obviously a non-starter. Even if the Egyptians and Israelis agreed to this demand, rest assured, Hamas would come up with some other impossible demand. They do not want peace. They want every Israeli dead.

From FOX "Secretary of State John Kerry's proposals for a cease-fire that would halt the fighting in the Gaza Strip have been resisted by the Islamic militant group Hamas, who insist that any truce agreement must meet the group's main demand that a joint Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the territory be lifted....

More than 2,000 rockets have been fired at Israel from Gaza since July 8, and the Israeli military says it has uncovered more than 30 tunnels leading from Gaza to Israel, some of which have been used by Hamas to carry out attacks.
Israel imposed the blockade in 2006 after Hamas and other militants abducted an Israeli soldier in a deadly cross-border raid. It tightened the siege in 2007 after Hamas seized power from forces loyal to Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, but had eased some of the restrictions in recent years.

Egypt tightened its own restrictions last year after the overthrow of a Hamas-friendly government in Cairo and has destroyed many of the cross-border smuggling tunnels that sustained Gaza's economy, and which were also used by Hamas to bring in arms."
