  By Amos Harel This time, it really looks like the end. At least for the coming month, it appears that the ceasefire deal announced on Tuesday night between Israel and Hamas will hold. Negotiations will resume next month in Cairo, dealing with the tougher demands made by Hamas: from a complete opening of the Rafah border crossing to the establishment of a seaport. If by then Hamas tones down its demands, it may be possible to advance from a temporary truce to a more long-term arrangement. In the meantime, both sides seem interested at putting an end to this terrible summer. Tuesday's announcement of the ceasefire was accompanied by the expected cries of woe from left and right. For every Israeli asking himself if Israel didn’t go too far in the destruction and suffering it inflicted on Gaza, there are two or three others who are convinced that the Israel Defense Forces

sintesi personale L'accordo di cessate il fuoco non dà alcuna vittoria o guadagni immediati. Anche se il leader della Jihad Islamica Ramadan Shalah e il rappresentante di Hamas Izzat al-Rishq hanno elogiato ieri l'eroismo dei palestinesi e la loro capacità di  resistere contro l'esercito israeliano, Shalah ha  elencato come successi della guerra : "evitare che il problema palestinese  sia dimenticato," " vanificare le iniziative del nemico sionista "e" distruggere le sue capacità di dissuasione ". E 'difficile trovare differenze significative tra l'accordo e la proposta originaria dell'Egitto, a meno che non ci sia un allegato segreto  . L' apertura di valichi di frontiera di Gaza, il permettere l'entrata del materiale  di costruzione, l'ampliamento della zona di pesca costiera a sei miglia erano già stati concordati un mese fa. Tra un mese  entrambe le parti torneranno al Cairo per negoziare su

  The cease-fire agreement doesn’t give Hamas any victory photos or immediate gains. Though Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Shalah and Hamas representative Izzat al-Rishq both heaped praise yesterday on the Palestinians’ heroism and their ability to stand fast against the Israeli army, Shalah listed the war’s achievements as “keeping the Palestinian problem from being forgotten,” “thwarting the Zionist enemy’s initiatives” and “destroying his deterrent capabilities.” It’s hard to find any significant differences between the current agreement and Egypt’s original proposal, unless there’s a secret annex that hasn’t been published. Opening Gaza’s border crossings, allowing humanitarian aid and construction materials to enter and expanding the coastal fishing zone to six miles were already agreed on a month ago. There’s no commitment yet to building a port and airport in Gaza, and even opening the Gaza-Egypt border crossing at Rafah was left to separate talks bet

After seven weeks of Gaza war, Hamas: 1, Israel: 0 www.haaretz.com Is what started on 7.7 going to really end after seven weeks? Will both sides finally stop shooting at each other, wrap up Operation Protective Edge and start recovering from it? The feeling in Tel Aviv is that this time the end is really near, on the assumption that the mutual concessions on the table are enough for both Israel and Hamas – or more accurately, are preferable to sticking to objectives that are not currently achievable. A cold calculation of costs vs. benefits compared to the situation that prevailed on July 7 seems to show that Israel lost more. All it got was a restoration of the previous situation without anything to show for it, while it paid with 68 deaths, hundreds of wounded, and thousands of people uprooted from their homes. Alt

  Nitin Sawhney e Roger Hill  Sintesi personale Quattro anni fa abbiamo iniziato a fare un film documentario incentrato su due ragazzi carismatici nella Striscia di Gaza, la cui passione per gli aquiloni sembrava insolitamente vivace in un luogo assediato da anni di blocco e di privazione. Insieme a migliaia di altri bambini palestinesi erano determinati a vincere il Guinness World Record facendo volare il maggior numero di aquiloni  in una sola volta. Insieme a Musa, di 14 anni, con entusiasmo  abbiamo costruito grandi aquiloni con grande precisione . Partecipava anche  Widad, la sorella di 12 anni . Volevano  che il mondo si accorgesse di loro e della assediata fascia costiera che è la loro casa . "Io esprimo me stessa e scrivo un messaggio al mondo intero," riportava il messaggio scritto sull' aquilone-"  ho il diritto  all'istruzione, alla giustizia, all' uguaglianza e alla vita. " Musa nella sua saggezza aveva capito c
