Hamas Agrees "In Principle" to Egyptian Cease-Fire Proposal
[Ha'aretz] Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff - Hamas representatives to talks with Egypt announced an agreement in principle on Wednesday to an Egyptian cease-fire proposal. They also demanded several clarifications. The agreement includes the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza, in the form of its renewed presence at the Rafah crossing with Egypt (as a condition for its reopening). Gazans are angry at Hamas leaders for dragging the Strip into an unnecessary and poorly considered war. There's no doubt that when the war does end, Hamas will claim victory. But the destruction in Gaza will tell a different story.
