Israel Trades Cows for Calm -Karin Laub & Ibrahim Barzak
An Israel-Hamas truce has boiled down to a simple trade-off:
For a day of calm, Israel adds five truckloads of cows and 200 tons of cement to the basics it ships to Gaza, but rocket fire from the territory reseals the border for a day.
Under the Egyptian-brokered deal, Gaza's Hamas rulers are to halt rocket and mortar fire on Israeli border communities and Israel is to increase the flow of goods into Gaza.
