Hellooooo. This so-called "truce" is a textbook example of the arab cease-fire
known as “hudna”. I hope our political leaders are bright enough to see this “truce” for what it is: an opportunity for the arabs to re-arm themselves without the fear of getting their asses shot off.

Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said Saturday that his Hamas group would be willing to accept a temporary Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in exchange for a 10-year truce with Israel.

His comments, reiterating Hamas policy, came as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was to meet exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal in Syria to discuss ways to form a coalition government and end international sanctions on the Palestinians.
