| Apr 9 at 18:30 | comment | added | homopoliticus | I did indeed ask myself why Hamas would trust a ceasefire commitment, which is why I'm confused about why they're insisting so strongly on it, and about why Israel is resisting the demand so strongly. The demand for the release of prisoners sounds more logical, and that should be a tougher frog for Israel to swallow. | |

I don't think Israel will even seriously consider the other 3 (and probably shouldn't). | |
