The fighting has largely ended for now. Since the truce took effect a dozen missiles from Gaza have hit Israel. Otherwise, this shows the influence of Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

Diplomatic sources in Jerusalem indicated that an immediate truce, if it held, would be followed by a staged departure of some 60,000 Israeli troops deployed along the Gaza border, followed by a gradual lifting of the trade and passenger restrictions imposed by Israel on Gaza in return for the gradual disarming of militant groups in the Hamas-controlled enclave.

Details leaked to the Egyptian media said the ceasefire was a four-point plan under which Israel and the Palestinian groups both commit to cease all hostile activity in Gaza or around its borders, and Israel will lift border controls, easing restrictions on the movement of goods and people in and out of Gaza.

 

Consider this round Israel’s.
