"Speaking on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the truce would be fragile and could be short-lived."

"Hamas's leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniya, said the truce would "bring stability to Israel if they commit themselves to it"."

Yea your right - the Prime minister of Israel and the leader of Hamas in Gaza both say there is an agreed truce - How is that unilateral???

"The prime minister and defense minister of Israel have agreed to an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire with Hamas for the Gaza area starting Thursday, Israel Radio reported on Wednesday morning."

"Mahmoud Zahar, a leader of Hamas, the Islamist group that controls Gaza, confirmed at a news conference there on Tuesday evening that a truce was about to come into effect and that it would last for six months.

A senior Israeli defense ministry official, Amos Gilad, traveled to Cairo on Tuesday night to receive final clarifications from the Egyptians. On his return Wednesday morning, he told Israel Radio that an understanding had been achieved.
Maintaining a note of caution, Defense Minister Ehud Barak of Israel said on Tuesday that it was "difficult to determine how long" an agreement would last."

"JERUSALEM – A truce Hamas made with Israel in Gaza last November is "officially over," Hamas leaders told WND today, threatening to send suicide bombers into Tel Aviv if the Jewish state retaliates for a major attack carried out this morning. "

Ok the leaders both announce it - then one party "OFFICIALLY' ends the agreement - but I guess there wasnt one.

And no - Hamas is a terrorist organization - and while they did win SOME political power in an election - their actions of forcibly securing Gaza shows they are no government - but a bunch of thugs.

My position remains rooted in the statements of leaders in the know. So I guess now your going to dispute leaders of both sides who say they had an agreement? Lemme guess - you know better than they do?

I fully expect some lame argument from you about this - but the folks here can decide for themselves. I suspect what really has occured is that you read somewhere about a unilateral decision - it being a different date in this issue - and now have yourself backed into a corner and are simply too proud to admit you made a mistake. Either way - not my problem. The facts are above - where are yours to refute the words of the Isreali Prime Minister or multiple Hamas leaders being quoted? Oh thats right - you dont have any..... :rotfl:

So far I have provided multiple sources that say I am right. You can't provide any that disputes me. I know it works different in little tribesmanworld - but in the big grown up world of reality - facts exist.
