Hamas sinking?


Will Gaza Lull Last? -Ron Ben-Yishai

Hamas was badly beaten in Israel's recent operation; it sustained a much harder blow than what emerged from media reports. Hamas estimates that if it continues to fight, Israel will topple Hamas' Gaza regime and prevent the group from realizing its strategic objective: Taking over the West Bank and ruling the Palestinian people.

If this turns out to be accurate, it would be encouraging news indeed.

We can only hope that the [prematurely halted] excursion against Hamas had the effect this commentator suggests.

Olmert is a weak leader without strong military sensibilities. The sooner he is out the sooner the military be allowed to do its job.
