So this blog has been overtaken by events and we come to the last day of the latest ceasefire in Gaza. Let me state my position in brief (for a change): I hope not only that the ceasefire holds, but also that Hamas relinquishes (or is forced, in the most peaceful way possible) to relinquish power in Gaza, and that this conflict represents the last in Gaza before steps are taken to achieve real peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. On that note I shall say that I believe Israel needs to act *now* to make sure that this happens, and I return thereby to my previous, pre-war, stance, critical of Netanyahu's efforts (or rather lack of them) to achieve peace in the region.
