Cautious Optimism
I'm not reserving my ski vacation in Hades just yet, but I have been to Travelocity and Orbitz to compare prices. Sweet merciful glaven!
There are basically three things that could happen at this juncture.
* The murderous Islamofascist terror groups Hamas and "Palestinian" Islamic Jihad could break the truce, and the "Palestinian" Authority could "pull an Arafat" and do nothing, forcing Israel to retaliate and ending this brief ceasefire.
* The murderous Islamofascist terror groups Hamas and "Palestinian" Islamic Jihad could break the truce, resulting in a joint retaliatory/preventative campaign by both the Israeli Defense Force and the "Palestinian" security forces, thus strengthening the currently weak diplomatic ties between the two governments.
* The murderous Islamofascist terror groups Hamas and "Palestinian" Islamic Jihad could observe the truce, allowing Israel to stand down, thus paving the way for further negotiations and a reasonable chance at peace in the region.
For some reason, I'm holding out hope for that third option. I will, of course, keep you all posted.
A senior Palestinian official has said militant groups have agreed to suspend their attacks on Israel and are now waiting for Israel's response.
It follows a week of talks between Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and militants aimed at ending the violence.
The militant groups insist they will not actually announce a ceasefire unless Israel makes concessions on halting military operations.
Israel has said its armed forces will hold fire if calm prevails.
