Stand for Israel  |  May 20, 2021

Those of us who stand for Israel have prayed that the constant barrage of terrorist rockets the Israeli people have endured for nearly two weeks would end.

The Israeli security cabinet voted to accept a ceasefire late Thursday as the Israeli south and Gaza remain inflamed.

The security cabinet unanimously agreed to a “mutual and unconditional” cessation of hostilities, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office…

However, the PMO added, “reality on the ground will determine the continuation of the campaign,” implying that they are keeping with the principle of “quiet would be met by quiet.”
