Ceasefire agreed between Israel and Hamas

ISRAEL has agreed to a truce in the Gaza Strip, but will not lift its blockade of the Palestinian territory, Israeli sources said, declining to give further details of any deal.

Shortly before, a Palestinian official with knowledge of Egyptian mediation between the two sides told Reuters that there was a ceasefire agreement to end eight days of fighting in Gaza that has killed more than 140 Palestinians and five Israelis.

Israel's Channel Two television said a ceasefire would be announced in Cairo later in the evening by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Rockets still being fired. Hamas may have stopped but there are other factions who hardly ever stop.

how do you know hamas are not firing rockets?

Generally when there have been ceasefires in the past, Hamas has tried to stop the various separate groups to keep the peace. Hamas has been under a lot of pressure due to their lack of militance.

do i hear any votes for saint hamas, or does saint pol pot have the edge?

hay my post testerday motning IRAN
HAMAS LAST NIGHT THANKED AND PRAISED IRAN FOR ITS WEAPONS AND HELP.
you can say that i was correct if you are not a coward

As I said previosly, it suits Hamas to deal with Iran at present.

be honest and make your self a human

of course it does and vice versa ..... quite how cosily they may be in bed has no real relevance as today's friend can easily become tomorrow's enemy and vice versa as is regularly borne out by world history

well said cynic

You can look st my post. It was 6216

cynic so you have a foul mouth about sums up

??????????????
surely you haven't been at the bottle so early in the day - or is it that just don't read posts properly - e.g. you missed :-) ?

an interesting observation from FT (paper not BB) .....

Five lessons from the Gaza conflict
Israel has learnt to end a war
Hamas is a legitimate regional player
Morsi has passed his first test
Mahmoud Abbas is a spent force
Missile defence saves lives in Israel (and Gaza too)

Gaza is a massacre
Aside from the explicit language, this London taxi driver speaks from the heart.....

Netanyahu Unaware of Camera

do i espy another blinkered zealot?

There is a longer video of that exchange with Netenyahu. He continues to say he can do what he wants and America won't stop him. He talks about taking as much of the West Bank as he wants and getting rid of the Palestinians. It is all very similar to Hitler talking about countries he will conquer.

is there now ..... by the way, how come there was what must surely have been a hidden camera in what was presumably N's house or one of his relatives?

i also wonder what pearls might be similarly be gleaned from a hidden a camera in the home of one of the hamas leaders
