You can't fire me; I quit

So both sides have called unilateral ceasefires -- I suppose it doesn't matter so long as the violence stops.


Hamas agrees to ceasefire

The Hamas leadership announced a week-long ceasefire in Gaza Sunday, saying Israel should use that time to withdraw its forces and open all border crossings in the territory.


The news from Hamas' Syrian-based deputy leader, Moussa Abu Marzouk, came about 12 hours after Israel declared its own unilateral ceasefire to end its 22-day-old offensive in Gaza.

Islamic Jihad and other Palestinians factions have agreed to honour the truce declared by Hamas

It matters in so much as Israel is reserving the right to resume hostilities, based on it's own motives and whatever justification seems expedient.
