They responded that such previous action by them had not been reciprocated, and they reminded me that Hamas had previously insisted on a ceasefire throughout Palestine including both Gaza and the West Bank, which Israel had refused. Hamas then made a public proposal of a mutual ceasefire restricted to Gaza, which the Israelis considered and also rejected.
他们回答说他们以前曾经采取过这样的行动，但是没有得到响应。他们还提醒我说哈马斯此前曾坚持在包括加沙和西岸的整个巴勒斯坦地区实现停火，但是被以色列拒绝了。后来哈马斯公开提出双方只在加沙地区实现停火，对此以色列表示愿意考虑，但最后还是拒绝了。
