#1 I'm all in favor of a lot of both Egyptian and Turkish military entering Gaza, because neither of them will tolerate Hamas' antics one bit.

Ideally, Israel could ask Iraq to send a brigade to Gaza, as they are skilled at reestablishing order. There would be a butt load of dead Hamas, if they did.

#2 Damn, I was hoping Bangladesh could get involved.

Then they could send the Rapid Action Battalion.

#4 "Set to announce" is meaningless. When there is an agreement with firm timelines, then I will begin to think something might possibly actually happen. When the troops deploy, then I'll believe it is probable, for probability values closer to one than zero.
