Israel vs Hamas
(Dar Al-Hayat-Lebanon) Jihad Al Khazen - The suicide operation in Jerusalem crossed the red line and drove Israel to take the decision to kill each and every Hamas leader. The death of a leader creates a vacuum, because it is much harder to find a person of the same caliber to replace him. The Jerusalem operation aborted an extremely important Israeli offer that was raised during the last meeting between Shaul Mofaz and Dahlan, when the Israelis offered to withdraw from four cities including Ramallah. They also offered to stop hunting down the Palestinian wanted men and turn their case over to the Palestinian government, as well as grant more work permits and licenses to Palestinian businessmen and traders. It is no longer enough to restore the truce, as new terms must be added, like the fact that the Palestinian weapons should be in the hands of one party, the way it goes in every other country of the world.
