More than likely this is the left in Israel trying to keep power in the face of the upcoming elections, where I'm pretty much confident Netanyahu's coalition will take power otherwise.  May work, may not work, we'll see.

The election has probably influenced the timing, but something like this was always going to happen sooner or later (and probably always sooner).

Israel accepts truce 'principles'

Israel has agreed "on the principles" of a ceasefire proposal, raising hopes of an end to its conflict with Palestinian militants in Gaza.

"The challenge now is to get the details to match the principles," Israeli spokesman Mark Regev said.

The Palestinian militant group Hamas said there were "positive signs but no agreement yet".

The development came as Israel halted military operations in Gaza for three hours to aid humanitarian efforts.

The lull, which began about 1100 GMT and ended shortly after 1400 GMT, was the first of what an Israeli spokesman said would be a daily ceasefire to allow Gazans to "get medical attention, get supplies... whatever they need".

There were some predictably charming scenes at the anti-invasion protest in London earlier (pictures are all over the interwebs, but are the usual disgusting stuff). I still find it strange that the people that organise these demos don't do something about people like that; don't they realise that it makes them look bad?
