Palestinians Declare Unilateral Cease-Fire
Topics: Middle East News and PerspectivesMahmoud Abbas is apparently concerned that the Israelis might adopt the tougher tactics that their citizens wanted used against Hezbollah, and has declared a unilateral cease-fire in the West Bank and Gaza. He claims to have the support of all armed groups in this stand-down agreement, and hopes to end the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
However, that's only part of the crazy mixed-up mess involving the Palestinians, Syria, and Iran.
Remember the little joke about the draining of the swamp and being in the midst of alligators? Remember Gilad Shalit?
