Gaza Cease-Fire Options Weighed
[Ha'aretz] Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff - None of the major international players want to strengthen Hamas. France and Egypt are currently leading the cease-fire efforts, yet their proposals are far closer to Israel's demands than to those of Hamas. Therefore, unless Hamas gives in and accepts these proposals, the fighting is likely to continue. What to do about Hamas' arms smuggling currently appears to be the main sticking point holding up a cease-fire agreement.
