File under: Hamas

#1 I ~~don't~~ assume all this was in the works before the police started investigating Omelette?

#2 This is a curious report on the status of negotiations. I wonder if the real fear is that if the IDF resolves the southern flank issues peacefully (at least as far as prisoner releases) it simply frees them up to focus on the northern flank?

As indecipherable as Lebanese politics are, add in Egyptian negotiations on behalf of the IDF, and Hamas trying to coordinate with Hezbollah, and it makes Louisiana look transparent - oh, forgot that we're fixing Louisiana. Competition makes for innovation I suppose.
