Egypt announced a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas effective Wednesday evening local time, the Associated Press reported.

In details of the agreement obtained by the news agency, Israel will cease all military activity against the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip at 9 p.m. local time (11 a.m. PST) and Palestinian militants will cease rocket attacks into Israel. After 24 hours of quiet, Gaza's border crossings with Israel will be opened further to allow freer movement of goods and people.

The announcement by Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton followed talks in Cairo between Clinton and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi.

I am all for no killing, but Israel is getting played again. Most likely a threat from the WH (although no one knows who authorized it) to stop the bombing or risk losing money from the US.

Israel agrees to stop taking out Arab launch sites.

Arabs agree to not to fire more than 1,000 missiles per day into Israel.

Europe accepts Israel’s part in this, and heaps praises on the Arabs for once again showing how interested they are in being peaceful productive players on the world stage.

Europe adds, “We’ll be sending increased funds so you an repair all the damage Israel caused.” The Arabs lick their lips and pull out their Iranian Arms catalog.

Europe once again pats itself on the back for bringing peace to the Middle-East, even if it may only be temporary for some strange reason...

How many times has this play been run and Israel always pulls up short while the terrorists rearm and prepare for the next attack. Israel will perish unless it is prepared to do what is unthinkable in the West.

Heard Oliver North say much the same thing yesterday, it’s that weaponry access would dry up. I hate we have that kind of power over Israel. And here comes Hitlery smelling like a rose!

Word is that a cease-fire was agreed to yesterday but they waited for HRC to show up to announce it.

Another 10 such supposedly even-handed cease fires and Israel will cease to exist.

Did this communists Bitc! consult Israel? Oh, Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood is in control of the entire region. If I were Israel I would tell this sick Bitc! to go to hell and wipe out Gaza and hit Egypt where it hurt.

"People" = suicide bombers; "Goods" = bomb vests.

I heard Obama promised Israel more money for Iron Dome. No idea what he promises his friends in hamas.

I wouldn’t immediately assume this is bad for Israel. They did a heck of a lot of damage.

And I don’t think spending life and treasure in Gaza when Iran is cheering them on, is a strategic win.

Also, Israel may attack if Gaza does not abide. This could also be Israel letting Hamas show they do not wish a ceasefire.

I give it 12 hours before Hamas starts with the “innocent rockets that don’t really do any damage”.

Finally, lasting peace and now everyone is safe. I can already see the Hamas terrorists and Jews having fun on the beaches, together.

It’s a darn good thing the People of the Entire World have Obama and Clinton to guide us FORWARD to a peaceful future.

Oh, I do have a question —

**WHO in the hell gave the damn order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?**
