Deal?

This is no deal as it is obvious they Kerry and Obama have forced Israel to make this deal with the Devil.

Hamas will get access to Israeli fishing zones.

Hamas gets access to travel outside of Gaza.

Israel will have to pay for damage in Gaza.

And next, Hamas will get access to an airport and a seaport.

Egypt had brokered...

That alone is exhibit A as to how far the US has fallen in world leadership under Obama. It took Egypt to broker a deal in the Mideast. Stunning.

How is the back nine, Mr. Obama?

I doubt that, as Israel has seemingly surrendered to Hamas.

Obama and Kerry’s fingerprints are all over this one as they have forced Netanyahu to take this deal.

IMO Netanyahu is finished.

The government will not stand for long and BiBi will not win re-election.

Bennett is the likely next PM. Moshe Feiglin would be better.

People in Israel are beginning to refer to Netanyahu as PiPi NothingYahoo.

Help me understand something. The NY Slimes is reporting that Hamas’s demands have been met by Netanyahu and people here actually believe it? Already called Israel surrender monkeys and Netanyahu is finished?

Why don’t we wait until it is the headline on Drudge before passing judgement?

“Hamas must finally be out of ammunition... Time to restock.”

Exactly!

And instead of forcing Hamas to surrender due to the lack of missiles, Israel is giving Hamas greater access to imports so that more weapons can be shipped in to Gaza.

I’m not passing judgment. .. I’m just pointing out the “season” of the times.

No need to hyperventilate over this---Egypt's role is not new.

Egypt has been the go-between preparing and presenting all ceasefires between Israel and Gaza since 2008. (And doing a great job /sarc).
