I did kind of miss this in the morning's excitement about peace in our time in the Middle East. Do you think they write new articles every time this happens, or do they just slap a fresh date on the old ones?

Hamas says not bound by Palestinian ceasefire

Palestinian Islamist militant movement Hamas said that it was not bound by the ceasefire announced by Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas at a Middle East peace summit in Egypt.

Abbas's declaration "expresses only the position of the Palestinian Authority (news - web sites). It does not express the position of the Palestinian movements," said Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri.

In Beirut, Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdaneh said the ceasefire pledge "does not commit the Palestinian resistance."
