Israel has declared a ceasefire in Gaza.

Troops would remain in Gaza for the time being and if Hamas held fire, the military would "consider pulling out of Gaza at a time that befits us". If militant rocket fire into Israel continued, Israel would respond with force, the Israeli leader added.

Hamas isn't pleased:

Israel must withdraw completely, lift its economic blockade of Gaza and open border crossings, the spokesman said.

    "Israel must withdraw completely, lift its economic blockade of Gaza and open border crossings"

    Not only Hamas demands that.

    In addition to that the mass murderers and war criminals arround Olmert must be punished.
