IMRA interviewed Hamas spokesman in the Gaza Strip Musheer al-Masri, via telephone today (with Dr. Michael Widlanski acting as translator):

Q: What is the nature of the ceasefire?

A: The ceasefire is a mutual ceasefire and it has to include a halt to Israeli aggression against the citizens in Gaza. In return it is a stoppage in the firing of missiles.

Q: But what about the manufacture of weapons and the introduction of weapons from Sinai?

A: It is a mutual ceasefire. They stop firing and we stop firing missiles.

Q: But what about the manufacture of missile and what about the introduction of weapons from Sinai?

A: It is a mutual ceasefire.

Q: So that's what it is. It does not include the other things.

A: That's right.
