Gaza Conflict WILL Bring A ‘Relative’ Hudna,
After screams of victory from defeated Hamas,
Syria, Iran, Hizbullah, and Hamas WILL LAY Back,
A time of well disguised ‘peace and safety’ Detracts,
But on a day between 2010 & 2015 a final war Begins,
Were It Not For God Israel’s Existence Would Surely End,
But For 1260 Days in The Negev God Will Be Israel’s Friend,
And to the bitter end the God of Israel his people will Defend,
So at Armageddon the God of Israel as King of Kings Descends,
His Second Advent will for 1000 years be a joy to those He’s Akin,
Cause A New Birth From Above In Him Made Them His Family Again!

Don’t expect the Hudna overnight! It will only come after wild shouting and long debate, but it will come because Hamas got their tail kicked and they need time to recover. Syria, Iran, and Hizbullah are certainly aware of this, even though they will never admit it. This blistering crushing of the Hamas power base, and loss of many of its leaders will cause the terrorists to regroup and plan for a major Middle East war, which I think is likely to begin at some point in time between 2010 & 2015.

the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. [4] And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.

I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
[4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

[3] Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

Barak: Israel very close to achieving Gaza op’s objectives
Ceasefire closer than ever
? Defense minister says Israel close to securing Gaza op’s goals

January 17, 2009
Hours before the cabinet was scheduled to discuss a possible ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that Israel is close to achieving its goals in the military campaign.
“After three weeks, we are very close to securing the objectives and complementing them with diplomatic agreements,” Barak said while visiting IDF paratroopers. He added, however, that troops must “continue their operational activity and be ready for any possible development.”
The defense minister was briefed on the activity of forces in the Strip and said that security forces are “carrying out the missions in an impressive manner in order to bring about a different reality here in the south
Earlier Saturdays, four IDF paratroopers sustained serous wounds during exchanges of fire with Palestinian gunmen.
The IDF is looking into the possibility that the troops were hurt by friendly fire, but no firm conclusions have been established yet.
The paratroopers have been operating on the outskirts of Gaza City for several days now, and in fact went deeper into the Strip than any other IDF unit. Meanwhile, the Air Force attacked more than 50 targets overnight, including 15 tunnels on the Philadelphi Route and eight rocket launching sites.

Israel withdraws from Gaza City, debate truce details
(DPA)
16 January 2009
GAZA CITY /TEL AVIV – Israeli ground troops pulled back to the outskirts of Gaza City Friday, as Israeli officials were in Washington and once again Cairo Friday to work out the details of an agreement to end nearly three weeks of deadly fighting.
As the talks went on, the troops pushed toward al-Zahara, a town in the centre of the strip, sparking heavy gunbattles with local militants in the late afternoon.
At least 23 bodies were found amid widespread destruction in Tel el-Hawa in the morning, a day after the southern Gaza City neighbourhood witnessed the worst fighting in the city of 400,000 since Israel launched its ground invasion on January 3.
Focussing on relentless air attacks in the first week, Israel launched its Gaza offensive on December 27 in a bid to curb near-daily rocket and mortar from the strip at its south.
At least 14 Palestinians, including five militants and three children were killed Friday in airstrikes and tank shelling, Gaza emergency services chief Mo’aweya Hassanein said.
They raised the total Palestinian toll in the Gaza offensive to at least 1,141 killed and more than 5,130 injured. Thirteen Israelis have also been killed, including three civilians.
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, in the West Bank city of Ramallah Friday for talks with Palestinian officials, reiterated that the situation in Gaza had become ‘unbearable’ and urged Israel to declare an urgent unilateral humanitarian truce, before finalizing a long-term ceasefire in talks with Egypt and Washington.
Those talks, he nevertheless said, were ‘close’ to reaching a truce and could come to fruition in ‘a couple of days.’
‘There is no time to lose. If we wait one more day, there will be more killings and destruction. The situation is just unbearable,’ he told a news conference with Palestinian caretaker Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. He also met with President Mahmoud Abbas.
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni left Thursday night for the United States to sign an agreement on joint intelligence cooperation against weapons smuggling to Gaza, while Israeli negotiator, Amos Gilad, returned to Egypt Friday with instructions from caretaker Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defence Minister Ehud Barak and Livni.
He was to return from Cairo later in the day, but the security cabinet would likely only hold a vote after the Jewish Sabbath and was then expected to give Israel’s final position on the Egyptian initiative.
Hamas, the Islamist Palestinian movement that controls the Gaza Strip, announced earlier this week that it had accepted the initiative in principal with certain reservations.
The Egyptian initiative calls for an immediate short-term ‘humanitarian’ truce during which Egypt will lead indirect negotiations on a longer-term ceasefire, that should include guarantees against border security – an Israeli demand – and an end to the economic blockade of Gaza – a Hamas demand.
That short-term truce could last anything between five days to two weeks – during which the Israeli military would gradually withdraw from Gaza – while Hamas could accept a long-term truce of up to one year, though Israel would want a more permanent agreement.
The initiative also calls on Hamas and its bitter rival, the Fatah party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, to resume reconciliation talks.
Unconfirmed reports late Thursday suggested the short-term halt to hostilities in Gaza could start within 72 hours. However, some significant differences remain.
Khaled Meshaal, Hamas’ Damascus-based political leader, said in Doha, at a summit of Arab leaders, that his organization would not accept Israeli dictates on the ceasefire, and that the militant group ‘had not suffered a defeat,’ in the Gaza fighting.
The stepped-up diplomacy came amid the worst day of fighting in Gaza Thursday in Israel’s now 21-day offensive, in which Israel shelled a UN compound and damaged three hospitals, one extensively.
It also killed one of Hamas’ top three leaders in Gaza and made the deepest advance into Gaza City yet, sparking intense battles with local militants little more than a kilometre from the heart of the city.
Hamas vowed to avenge the death of its de-facto Interior Minister Said Siam, who also headed its security forces, and declared Friday another ‘day of rage’ calling for protests in the West Bank.
Some 3,000 Palestinians marched in Ramallah to protest Israel’s offensive and called for West Bank-Gaza unity. Women also held up copies of the Koran, chanting slogans in support of Hamas, though for the first time in these weekly protests Abbas’ security forces did not arrest the Islamists’ supporters.
Protests also took place in Jerusalem and other West Bank cities, including Hebron were clashes between demonstrators throwing stones and Israeli forces resulted in the death of a 15-year-old, apparently from a rubber bullet.
As ground troops withdrew from Gaza City, the Israel Air Force kept up its attacks, striking 40 targets overnight and another 25 during the day.
Israeli conducted airstrikes against more than 2,000 targets in the past three weeks, while Palestinian militants fired over 700 rockets and mortar shells into Israel.
At least 16 rockets were fired Friday at southern Israel.
