Huh

Posted without comment because I’m hard at work at my day job. Apparently, Hamas might be cracking:

Sharp differences emerged at a meeting in Cairo yesterday between two Hamas representatives from Gaza and a delegation from Mr Meshaal in Damascus.

They had come to hear an Egyptian ceasefire proposal outlined by Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman.

Mr Suleiman said the agreement included the creation of a mechanism to prevent further smuggling of rockets and other armaments to the Gaza Strip in tunnels from Egypt, and a demand that Hamas hold political talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, which it has been refusing to do.

“The Gazans not only accepted it,” said Ya’ari, of the ceasefire proposal, “they demanded it.”…

“The Gazans will tell Meshaal to knock off his rhetoric and agree to an immediate ceasefire,” said Ya’ari, whose sources in Israel and the Arab world have made him one of Israel’s most credible commentators.

A similar report was given on Israeli television’s Channel One by the station’s Arab affairs reporter, Oded Granot.

OK, one quick comment: maybe this is just Israeli propaganda, but if it’s true, why don’t the Israelis simply suspend talks with the Hamas “leadership” in Syria and instead deal with the Gazans. Instead of bringing in Fatah to run Gaza, why not let a humbled, broken, and neutered offshoot of Hamas do the same thing?
