Israel and Hamas agree Gaza ceasefire
Not worth the paper its written on. But as long as it helps Hamas to regroup western “leaders” will babble mindlessly about ‘peace’ and praise Hamas for moderation, while blaming Israel for “disproportionate response”.

Israel is under fire as the direct result of Obama’s actions and statements during his first term. This is what happens when sixty years of support and cooperation are abandoned in an effort to curry acceptance by Middle Eastern regimes and people. (More)
Arab Columnists Blame Iran for Inciting Palestinians
A number of Arab columnists believe the rockets being launched from Gaza into Israel, are only being launched because Iran has incited Palestinians for ulterior reasons.
He didn’t say anything about the jihad rockets relentlessly fired at Israeli civilians. And as for needing to be “equipped”:
Islamic Jihad official: “I want to note that all our weapons are from Iran”
Maybe they want other rogue pro-jihad states to help out as well. “Iran official: Gaza fighters need to be ‘equipped,’” from the Associated Press, November 20:
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran says Palestinians in the Gaza Strip should be “equipped” to defend themselves against Israel.

Text of ceasefire agreement
Understanding Regarding Ceasefire in Gaza Strip
1. a. Israel shall stop all hostilities on the Gaza Strip land, sea and air including incursions and targeting of individuals.
b. All Palestinian factions shall stop all hostilities from the Gaza Strip against Israel, including rocket attacks, and attacks along the border
c. Opening the crossings and facilitating the movement of people and transfer of goods, and refraining from restricting residents free movement, and targeting residents in border areas and procedures of implementation shall be dealt with after 24 hours from the start of the ceasefire.
d. Other matters as maybe requested shall be addressed.
2. Implementation Mechanism:
a. Setting up of the zero hour for the Ceasefire Understanding to enter into effect.
b. Egypt shall receive assurances from each party that the party commit to what was agreed upon.
c. Each party shall commit itself not to perform any acts that would breach this understanding. In case of any observations, Egypt – as the sponsor of this understanding – shall be informed to follow up.
Fairly generic as far as I can see. One immediate issue, though, is that it sounds like it is requiring Israel to no longer enforce the buffer zone – the 300-to-1000 meters that Israel requires to remain clear so that there won’t be any attempted explosives along the fence or other attempts to infiltrate Israel.
I can see that being a problem, and possibly it will be interpreted differently by each side.
Not that I am optimistic that this will last the night anyway – there are enough nutty jihadist groups that will be happy to lob a few rockets to prove their manhood.
UPDATE: So far, 23 minutes after the “cease-fire” was to go into effect, there have been rockets towards Hof Ashkelon, Beer Sheva, Shaar HaNegav and Eshkol. It appears that this is the world’s definition of a cease fire – only Israel can break one.
