I am so hopeful that this is going to lead to a pathway to something interesting, both with Hamas and Syria.
Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said the group is committed to the truce deal. Israeli officials declined to confirm a deal, but said Israel's negotiator in the truce talks was rushing to Cairo and that they were "cautiously optimistic."Egypt's MENA agency cited an unnamed high-level Egyptian official as saying that both sides "have agreed on the first phase" of an Egyptian package to end the violence in the Gaza Strip.
The first phase is a "mutual and simultaneous calm" that will start at 6 a.m. Thursday, MENA said.

While I have my doubts, I sincerely hope this truce is just the beginning. People on both sides have suffered tremendously and its time the goverments did their part to mend relations and coexist.
