@BBCWorld and @nytimes The ceasefire was not broken by Hamas, the elected political representatives of the Palestinians ()elected 3 times). The ceasefire ended because Israel would not even agree in principle to end the 7-year blockade of the Gaza Strip, allow the Gazans to build their own seaport so that they can export goods, open the border crossings--despite the fact that they had said they would do this in 2012.
