72 Hour Cease Fire Starts At Midnight In Gaza
"GAZA CITY — Israel and Hamas have agreed to an unconditional, 72-hour humanitarian truce to begin Friday morning, diplomats from the United States and the United Nations announced Thursday, potentially paving the way for an end to the 24-day-old conflict."WaPo
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/...y.html?hpid=z2 I really, really hope & pray that cooler heads prevail in this and that it leads to a broader peace. Sholem aleykhem and As-salamu alaykum, my friends. I've always been curious about how those two phrases are so very similar. Shalom, please.

Saying it was an affront to assurances to respect the cease-fire given to the United States and United Nations, which brokered the truce. He demanded that the militant Hamas movement that controls Gaza move to "immediately and unconditionally release" the missing Israeli soldier. "The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today's attack," Kerry said in a statement released by the State Department as he was flying back to the U.S. from an official trip to India. Kerry said he had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the developments, which led Israel to declare the cease-fire over. Kerry said it would be a "tragedy if this outrageous attack leads to more suffering and loss of life on both sides of this conflict."
