Fighting needs to stop now
but while a 10 day cease fire
would help Hamas it would
be bad for Israel. Israel needs
a long term cease fire.
Egypt and Hamas were negotiating a proposal for a 10-day cease-fire in Gaza, officials said Wednesday, as the Palestinian death toll in the war passed 1,000 and smoke from Israeli airstrikes rose over Gaza City's devastated streets.
Egyptian and Palestinian officials said they hoped to seal Hamas' agreement on a temporary halt in fighting, which would be presented to Israel for approval. Key uncertainties remained for a longer-term deal under which Gaza's borders would be open and Israeli troops would withdraw.

Sounds like this has been approved by Hamas, & goes before Israel Thursday. I'm glad, civilians must be suffocating by now!

Yes, my main hope is that there is a cease fire now and relief for the people of Gaza.

CNN just reported that Hamas agreed to a one year cease fire but I agree Hamas cannot be trusted.
