10-YEAR TRUCE OFFER TO ISRAEL!
January 21, 2007
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
There is a wild-west circus act going on in the Middle East between a maze of evil companions, namely Iran, Syria, Fatah, and Hamas, with ole sweet thing Hizbollah sitting on the sidelines for the moment. Iran is not, at the moment, expressing favor with any kind of agreement with Israel.
Syria, on the other hand, is seeking a phony false peace deal with Israel.
Hamas does not want to recognize Israel as a nation and is still refusing to abide by all agreements that have been signed between the PLO and Israel since 1993.
But Hamas keeps offering Israel a Hudna, which is no more than a truce, after which the fighting will begin all over again. Fatah wants a false peace with Israel but has absolutely no control over any of the other terrorist groups.
Meanwhile, back at the Gaza Strip
Ranch, the winter quarters for the three-ring circus, Islamic Jihad and al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades launch a couple of Kassam rockets every day out into Israeli territory.
Believe it or not, out of this wild-west circus act, it is possible some sort of a temporary false peace might emerge, but it is going to take a while to sort itself out. I will continue to watch the off again, on again, maybe soon, maybe not, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, scheduled series of meetings that change from one minute to the next, in the hope that something might come out of it. At times it seems almost impossible to get Hizbollah, Syria, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Iran, and al-Aksa Martyrs all into the same boat with a plan to lull Israel into a false sense of security. There is no way under heaven this evil assortment of true terrorist nations and groups can ever defeat Israel, unless they lull her into a false sense of security. Until they all get in the same boat with a plan designed to create a false peace with Israel, they will not be able to defeat her. I have always held this position, and have been waiting since the last century for it to come to fruition. In our third Prophecy Update in this century, which is still
in our Prophecy Update Archives, I wrote the following some six years ago.
Begin Quote from Prophecy Archive Update 3, January 2001
“But there is something far more important in the peace process than who is leader of Israel, and who is leader of the Palestinians. I retired from the USAF/National Security Agency as a synoptic analyst. When one analyzes anything, it is imperative to advance from what controls the conclusion of the problem being examined. Some problems do not have a definite controlling factor, and all the factors, both incidental and insignificant, must be given the appropriate weight in making a forecast of the outcome. However, this is not the case in making a determination of when peace will come between Israel and the Palestinians. The controlling factor which determines when a false peace will come to Israel, rests solely with the terrorist groups that plague her. There can never be a period of peace, even false peace, without the approval of all the terrorist groups.
Yassar Arafat cannot control the terrorist groups, nor can any other single Arab leader. The terrorist complex of Osama Bin Laden, the Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hisbullah, and Fatah are really controlled by leaders in Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Until these leaders finally come to the conclusion that the only way Israel can be driven into the Negev is by being lulled into a false sense of security, the terrorist groups will continue to operate, and the killing will continue. I believe these terrorist groups will soon realize that if they really want to slaughter Jews by the hundreds of thousands, and drive the rest into the Negev, they will have to lull Israel into a brief period of false peace. When this happens, an agreement will be reached between Israel and the Palestinians.
So my advice to those who want to get a feel of when the false peace will come is this: WATCH the terrorist groups. When their actions drop to zero, and stay there for a while, you may rest assured it has been as a result of meetings behind closed doors between the leaders of the aforementioned nations, and the leaders of the terrorist groups they sponsor.
I don’t pay much attention to any leader of Israel or the Palestinians. The terrorist groups are the key to a false peace in the Mid-East. When they grasp that by appearing to cease
their activities they will be able, at a later time, to kill many Jews, and drive the rest into the Negev, they will settle down and wait for the surprise attack against Israel from the north. Ariel Sharon may try to put a “forced peace” on the Palestinians before the terrorist groups shut down. This was one of the options considered by his party in the past. But it will not work. Watch for a cessation of terrorism. Then, after a brief period of false peace look for a vicious surprise attack from the north out of Syria.”

Haniyeh renews offer for 10-year truce with Israel
Khaled Abu Toameh, THE JERUSALEM POST
January 21, 2007
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas on Saturday renewed his offer for a 10-year truce with Israel in return for the establishment of a temporary Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem.
Haniyeh’s offer, which had previously been rejected by both Israel and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, came only hours before Abbas had been scheduled to meet in Damascus with Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal for talks on ways of resolving the ongoing power struggle in the PA.
However, a senior member of a Palestinian faction said Saturday night there would not be such a meeting Saturday, but that it might take place on Sunday.
Fatah and Hamas officials had played down the significance
of the Abbas-Mashaal talks – the first summit of its kind since July 2005 – and pointed out that the gap between the two parties concerning the formation of a unity government
remains as wide as ever. The officials also did not rule out the possibility that the meeting would not take place after all because of the continued dispute.
The main argument is over the Interior Ministry, which is formally in charge of the PA security forces. Hamas officials reiterated over the weekend their opposition to ceding control over the ministry.
Ahmed Yussef, political adviser to Haniyeh, said Hamas was opposed to the formation of a unity government simply to appease the US and Israel. “Hamas has displayed flexibility regarding the key cabinet ministries, including the Interior Ministry,” he said. “But we don’t want these portfolios to be handed over to figures backed by the US and Israel.”
Haniyeh earlier expressed hope that the meeting between Abbas and Mashaal would contribute to easing tensions between Hamas and Fatah.
“This meeting might lead to more understandings between the two sides,” he told reporters in Gaza City. “But this is definitely not the last meeting of its kind.”
Muhammad Nazzal, a senior Hamas official based in Damascus, described the summit as a “severe blow” to many of Abbas’s advisers and spokesmen who, he claimed, worked hard in the past few days to prevent the meeting from taking place.
He said that besides focusing on the unity government idea, the two were also planning to discuss ways of reconstructing the PLO and ending the war of words between Fatah and Hamas.
Independent legislator Mustafa Barghouti, who has been acting as a mediator between the two sides, said that “even if the talks did not lead to positive results, the summit itself is of great significance.
“The summit will create a positive atmosphere and remove some obstacles,” he said.
“We’re not very optimistic,” a source close to Abbas in Ramallah told The Jerusalem Post. “We still don’t see real changes in Hamas’s position regarding the unity government. Moreover, Hamas is still refusing to abide by all agreements that have been signed between the PLO and Israel since 1993.”
Ahmed Abdel Rahman, a top aide to Abbas, said he too was not optimistic.
Noting that the two parties were still at loggerheads over several issues, Rahman lashed out at Hamas for its refusal to dismantle its “Executive Force” militia, which was recently outlawed by Abbas.
Earlier, Abbas met in Damascus with President Bashar Assad, who offered to mediate between Fatah and Hamas, said Nabil Amr, media adviser to the PA chairman.
PA official Saeb Erekat said Abbas told Assad that the program of the proposed unity government must meet conditions set by the Quartet for the lifting of sanctions that have harmed the Palestinian economy.
“We need a government whose political program will win the support of the international community,” he said.
In a development that is likely to have a negative impact on the Abbas-Mashaal summit, a Fatah leader in the West Bank on Saturday accused Hamas of building a “republic of underground tunnels” in the Gaza Strip.
Jamal Nazzal, a senior Fatah spokesman, said the network of tunnels resembled those built by al-Qaida in Afghanistan.
Last week Fatah claimed that the underground tunnels were dug to assassinate senior Fatah and PA leaders, including Abbas and top Fatah operative Muhammad Dahlan. Hamas has strongly denied the charges, saying the tunnels were part of a plan to foil a possible Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.
