Foreign Minister Eli Cohen referred to the cease-fire agreement in an interview on Galei Tzahal.
According to him, "We did not promise the Islamic Jihad anything, we said that those who try to harm Israel will be punished. We have seen in the last 4-5 days that Israel closes accounts with anyone who threatens it - we have moved from a situation where we are being dragged into fighting to one where we are taking the initiative."
