The document commits Israel to permit the immediate export of the pepper crop and the rest of the Gaza harvest "on an urgent basis." By Dec. 15, Israel agreed, Israeli border authorities would process 150 export trucks a day through the Karni commercial crossing into their territory, and by the end of next year, that number would increase to 400 trucks a day. Israel also agreed to allow the movement of bus convoys between Gaza and the West Bank starting Dec. 15, allowing travel between Palestinian territories physically separated by Israel.

Israel agreed to allow the Palestinians to begin building a seaport and not to interfere with its operation. The document also committed the sides to serious talks on the construction of a Palestinian airport.

The security-sovereignty deadlock was resolved in a compromise in which the Israelis agreed to cede responsibility for camera surveillance and watch-list screening at Rafah to European personnel, while the Palestinians accepted that the Europeans would have final authority to order extra searches and computer checks on people and vehicles traveling from Egypt to Gaza.

The Americans didn't get everything they asked for. “But we got a lot,”...

...commits Israel to permit....

Israel agreed....

Israel also agreed....

...in which the Israelis agreed....

The Israelis agreed to cede....

Pardon me, but what did the Pallies agree to do? Why is Israel agreeing to all of this stuff, and why are we pressing them to do so, all without any visible or substantive Pallie concessions (such as the "concession" to actually live up to the dozens of broken agreements signed in the past)????

The Americans didn't get everything they asked for. “But we got a lot,”...

What else did we ask for? And shouldn't it be the Pallies who said "we didn't get everything we asked for" instead of the US? Since when did we become a proxy for the terrorists, and WHY???.

Watch out, more natural disasters to come...."I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you."

Yup, Israel agrees and its all Bush's fault. Couldn't be that some of these ideas actually make sense. Nope! Israel is just a sock puppet, incapable of looking out for its own interests.

They agreed to have Europeans guard/control their borders.

Not something many countries would allow.
