(Ynet News) Elior Levy - According to reports in Cairo, Israel's conditions for a ceasefire include: 1. A lull for a period of more than 15 years. 2. An immediate cessation of arms smuggling and the transfer of weapons to Gaza. 3. Cessation of rocket fire on the part of all armed Palestinian factions and an end to attacks on soldiers near the Gaza border. 4. Israel has the right to hunt down terrorists in the event of an attack or if it obtains information on an imminent attack. 5. The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt will remain open, but the crossings on the Gaza-Israel border will remain closed. 6. Egypt's politicians, headed by President Mohammed Morsi, will be the guarantors of any ceasefire agreement; meaning, the agreement will be backed by Egypt's political echelon rather than by its security establishment.
