They were not even signed by anyone. They were all of one page. See it copied below.<br /><br />Also, remember that Hamas is not only a terrorist organization; it is also the government of the Gaza Strip. Many other terrorist groups are active in Gaza. That will be the test--whether Hamas can restrain them from firing rockets at us. <br /><br />Agreement of Understanding For a Ceasefire in the Gaza Strip<br />---------------------------<br /><br />1: (no title given for this section)<br /><br />A. Israel should stop all hostilities in the Gaza Strip land, sea and air including incursions and targeting of individuals.<br /><br />B. All Palestinian factions shall stop all hostilities from the Gaza Strip against Israel including rocket attacks and all attacks along the border.<br /><br />C. Opening the crossings and facilitating the movements of people and transfer of goods and refraining from restricting residents' free movements and targeting residents in border areas and procedures of implementation shall be dealt with after 24 hours from the start of the ceasefire.<br /><br />D. Other matters as may be requested shall be addressed.<br /><br />2: Implementation mechanisms:<br /><br />A. Setting up the zero hour for the ceasefire understanding to enter into effect.<br /><br />B. Egypt shall receive assurances from each party that the party commits to what was agreed upon.<br /><br />C. Each party shall commit itself not to perform any acts that would breach this understanding. In case of any observations Egypt as the sponsor of this understanding shall be informed to follow up.<br />Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-41042728835782360992012-11-23T10:27:19.435+02:002012-11-23T10:27:19.435+02:00I am feeling thankful that you're having a bre...I am feeling thankful that you're having a break in all that violence, Dina.

We have one in our midst-Morsi ofcourse he is channeling the light.<br /><br />We have never had a negotiator that can think in Israel's interest and at the same time gain the trust of Hamas as a muslim brother.<br />Doesn't it make sense that the reason for the rockets being fired into Israel, at least in large part is due to the blockade and Morsi has the power to have the blockade releived and at the same time survey that arms do not enter.See it is going to work. See miracles do happen!<br />Military aggression hasn't worked in the past and it will not work in present for either side. Only a positive force can win.<br /><br />HUGS<br />Madeleine<br /><br />HUGS<br />Madeleinemiraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074095581188053256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-51344536912785715692012-11-22T23:32:40.455+02:002012-11-22T23:32:40.455+02:00shabbat shalom. i am glad that your day has been q...shabbat shalom. i am glad that your day has been quiet. i pray that the ceasefire lasts.
