Gaza Truce?

There was brief lull in fighting today to allow for humanitarian supplies to get into Gaza (yay!) and Israel has agreed 'in principle' to a truce being pushed by France and Egypt, but fighting has resumed. Sounds like the sticking point is that Israel doesn't want Hamas left in a position where it could re-arm and do this all over again... which seems fairly reasonable to me.

But, there is movement on the diplomatic front. And that can be nothing but a good thing.
