Hamas has long been sending political signals.
It is wise for Israel to respond.
Hamas has long-term goals which will make a settlement with Israel more difficult, but as Israel has made it clear that there will be no settlement with the Palestinians this is not important.
If Hamas wants a cease fire, what has Israel to lose by investigating that?
The answer is simple. IF Israel has no intention of making peace, then the best it can hope for is a cease fire. |
