Having also just read Moshe Arens` piece in Haaretz, I find it interesting that the Foreign Minister is becoming more belligerent, whereas prior to the Second Lebanon War, she was decidedly the "peacenik" in the cabinet. When Barak went into the Gaza Strip, he was able to bring Hamas to their knees, until Ms. Rice, soon to be out of office came running over. From, this article, I understand that Hamas wants to increase its influence in the West Bank by asking that the truce be extended. Is it all but over for Gilad? |
