(On Screen): Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad have declared cease fires. Is anyone surprised to learn that both formal announcements consist primarily of demands for things wanted from Israel?

And the joint announcement by Hamas and Islamic Jihad states that it's only for 3 months, and that it is conditional on a long list of Israeli concessions which aren't going to happen. (For instance, they want all Palestinian prisoners released.)

So we need a betting pool: how long until the next suicide bombing attempt? My money says it will be less than four days.
