France pushes for Gaza truce at U.N.; Israel opposed - Israel rejects the idea of observers in Gaza
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - France stepped up its push for a ceasefire in Gaza by drafting a U.N. Security Council resolution on Monday demanding a truce but Israel vowed to continue military action until Hamas stops firing rockets.

Malki told reporters that Arab countries wanted a resolution demanding an immediate end to "Israeli aggression" in Gaza and calling for the deployment of international monitors who would police any ceasefire agreement.

Moussa also said the Arabs did not want to explicitly condemn Hamas militants, whose rocket attacks Israel and the United States say sparked the present crisis.

Israel rejects the idea of observers in Gaza but European diplomats say the Jewish state can be persuaded to accept it.

1. I had understood that Israel might be willing to accept a neutral force in gaza...
to monitor and enforce the eventual peace agreement...once Israel has crushed Hamas' abiltiy to launch rockets.

Not sure where I got that idea.
