The PA and Hamas reach agreement

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

And it remains to be seen if this deal will fall apart as others have before.

It remains to be seen if Israel allows the "elections" to occur... Don't be surprised to see a full-scale invasion of the West Bank and Gaza before then.

Oh I don't doubt that Israel will try to intervene, but I expect them to attempt something subtler and less expensive than a full scale invasion unless Israel decides to align itself with Putin instead of Obama.

You say that as a joke, but Israel has been pretty much neutral in most of the international crises regarding Russia and the Israeli right (which has a lot of Russian Jews) has often been friendly towards Moscow in recent years.
