... to note that Ismael Haniyeh is
promising the State of Israel a 20-year truce (in exchange for "guaranteed" Palestinian statehood, including the continued
demand for
Palestinian --i.e., Arab-- ownership of Jerusalem). Considering that
neither Fatah nor Hamas have the integrity to honor a one-week truce (I mean,
how hard IS it to "cease firing," anyway?), and the
somewhat spotty history of the veracity of the truces agreed to with other regimes in the area, I'm not seeing any reason for Israel to
even consider sitting down at the negotiating table...
