An Interesting Situation
Reader comment on item: Give Gaza to Egypt
in response to reader comment: Ah, the three state solution is back
Submitted by Seamus MacNemi (United States), Jan 30, 2008 at 10:46
It seems that the mice have finally sprung the trap on themselves. I think that the wall fell on Hamas with a rumble that will be heard around the world like the walls of Jericho falling. The repercussions from this event could presage a sea change in the situation in the Middle East.
