In answer to a no-confidence motion in the Knesset Monday, foreign minister Tzipi Livni said Gaza is the source of terror because it is ruled by terrorists. For them, the truce is a chance to build up their arsenals with supplies from Tehran which reach Gaza through Egypt. The minister said she would meet former Palestinian PM Ahmed Qureia later in the day. Israel would persist in its war on terror, she said, just as it would continue peace talks with “pragmatic forces.”
Re-constituting their ability to murder Jews has always been the only reason for Hamas to adhere to a cease-fire, or that of any other Islamo-fascist army. This is a well-known and very old tactic used against the Jews and other enemies since Islam began. At some point it becomes more Israel's fault for agreeing to the cease-fire every time than it does the Palestinian monsters for actually breaking it. The charade is stupid enough that one almost wonders if Israel is trying to commit suicide. I don't see why Hamas needs to get weapons from Iran. People like Olmert and Rice are much closer and probably more willing.
