Palestine: Ceasefire: Palestinian Authority's Abbas announces ceasefire

.
In a major article of breaking news, Arthur Bright, "Abbas announces Palestiniain ceasefire," Christian Science Monitor (Aug18,2k6) posted a quoteful overview of this new development citing Ha'aretz (Israeli lib intellectuals), Jerusalem Post (Israeli mainstream, Reuters (shy on using word "terrorist"), and New York Times (grey grand-dame with prevaricating offspring). The result is journalistic excellence on a story that cawt me entirely by surprise, with thoro analysis of the latest twists-and-turns of possibilities and realities for a second peace-front for Israel. What is Iran up to?

"The temporary cease-fire deal does not include Islamic Jihad or breakaway Fatah factions now operating in Gaza under the influence of Hezbollah." (Ha-aretz).
