‘Hamas-Israel deal imminent,’ to the dismay of Palestinian factions

I see no evidence of Hamas "softening" its rhetoric, expectations or demands. Can you substantiate this claim?

Israel gets bupkiss. All of the benefit flows to Hamas and enables it to tighten its grip on Gaza. they can claim they won, and in fact, they would if this was a real deal. Seems the "punching bag" strategy works with many.

the stopping of rockets, is bogus since Hamas already claims they can't control all the "resistance groups" within Gaza. Not that they are raining down on Israel these days, there hasn't been more than 10 since the start of 2015.

But feel free to think this is a legit step towards peace. Its nothing more than a hudna.

 

I hope you are wrong but I perfectly understand your comment.

I agree with Dutch on this but I get your point.

 

This is the middle east. See how Syrians destroyed their own country, most of the population is refugees.
See Iraq torn apart Sunni Muslims murdering Shia Muslims and vice versa, while all other religions got extinct there.
A temporary (for several years) end of murder is a great step in the ME.
The last one in Syria held 1 hour, so any cease fire between Israel and Gaza is a good step.
But I don't think the Gazans can do it.
Without them attacking Israel and Israel shooting back, who will notice them ? send them tons of money ? arrange new UN agencies just for them ?
