Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondent and Agencies: Haniyeh: Hamas won Gaza war, but was wise to declare truce

I do not like how the media around the world are announcing Hamas` issue of a ceasefire

people seem to forget that it was Israel that announced a unilateral ceasefire first
It appears that people have also forgotten that following this rockets were still fired into Israel.

Hamas has been very clever in issuing this statement. It now appears that they are the cause of at least a short term peace in the region.
Hamas will not go once borders are opened and aid comes in. they will be seen as the reason there is peace and trade within gaza and their popularity will soar.

i do not know how there can be a successful lasting solution
i don`t think anyone does to be perfectly honest.

all I can do is hope that happiness will one day reach all those both in Israel and Gaza where no-one fears the threat of death
