if the economic blockade of Gaza is lifted as Tony Blair and the rest of the EU declares, perhaps this would deter Hamas from firing Qassams and continue the cease fire. It`s not a victory for Hamas in Gaza over President Abbas with the lifting of the economic blockade, it`s for the benefit of the Palestinian livelihood. Restraint is preferrable over war, especially during the continuing peace negotiations.
