Cease Fire Realized

Israel has self-called a unilateral cease fire in the Gaza Strip. Hamas, has decided to join with Israel's call for a cease fire and they give the "Zionist occupiers" 7 days to withdraw all troops from Gaza, or else.

Israel has decided not to open any border crossings (except for medical and other humanitarian supplies) and in my opinion will most likely keep the troops in Gaza and blockade on it until it is sure no military action will take place against its citizens.

Hamas welcomes the cease fire. They have been beat up pretty badly and need time to regroup. They will never admit defeat, and don't have to in this case. Israel didn't boot them from power, and couldn't completely stop rockets from firing.

I'm curious to see how long this lasts. Say, 7 days?

  1. I say 8 days, plus a 6-day war thrown in. Then Armageddon... j/k
