Israel-Hamas truce begins and Israelis are ready if it fails
Israeli officials said Egypt has agreed to hold off on opening its border with Gaza — a key Hamas demand — until there is progress in talks on Shalit\’s return. The IDF is expected to be ready for a last-resort invasion of Gaza, if the cease-fire fails.

As Israel and the Palestinians begin a long-awaited truce, both sides are holding their breath — and wondering what the United States will do next to advance the \”road map\” peace plan.
