CAIRO, Egypt Israel and the radical Islamic group Hamas have agreed on a truce to begin Thursday, Egypt's state-owned news agency said Tuesday.
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."...(more at link)

Apparently Hamas needs time to rest, re-arm, reload, and recruit. It will inevitably re-engage. Unless Israel has plans to position forces to pre-empt and/or crush the re-engagement, she is foolish to accept such a truce.

EXACTLY....just like Iran’s delay to respond to the new proposal. They pull this debunk over and over. Call truce as too give them time to replenish all the arms they lost in the last big explosion then it will be all on again. Israel needs to state terms plain and simple....last chance, one more rocket comes into our land and it is the end of life as all Hamas and Pals know it!!

I could have swore that when you have the enemy on the run or up against the wall, you didn’t call a time out to let them reorganize, recruit, and reload. Am I missing something?

A truce? And Gilad Shalit is still being held captive by Hamas?
This isn't a truce, it is a hudna. Specifically, this is the "Quraysh Model," which defines the meaning of a hudna. When you are militarily at a disadvantage, declare a "hudna" until you are militarily strong enough to discard it and win the war."
"This is a Muslim tactic that has been used over and over again throughout history with devastating success."
And Israel falls for this tactic, yet again. Meantime Gilad Shalit, if he is indeed still alive, rots in Hamas captivity.
A pox on Olmerde and his fellow wimps.

When, when, WHEN, will someone in Israel have the spine and big brass ones to say ENOUGH and come down on these Amalekstinians like stink on bleep and commence to go “Old Testament” on them?!?!? (rhetorical question). Every one of these “truces” or “ceasefires” are just a time out for the heathens to get new rockets and then start lobbing them again!

During services every Saturday morning at my synagogue, as we say a prayer for Israel, I alway silently add a prayer to save Israel from Olmert, Livni (Tzipi the Pinhead) and the rest of the Kadima/Labour/Meretz morons in charge there now.
