This very brief, unsourced piece in Hebrew perhaps explains everything that’s going on. It explains why Hillary Clinton is suddenly here. It explains why Israel is sitting at the edge of Gaza without going in. It explains why there have been less bombing missions today (Wednesday) than any other day.
The piece claims that President Obama has agreed in principle for the IDF to conquer Gaza and throw Hamas out. (Link in Hebrew only).
But… and it’s a huge but. He wants Gaza turned over to ‘moderate‘ ‘Palestinian‘ President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen  and, so that this can be portrayed as Abu Mazen ‘saving’ the ‘Palestinians’ and to strengthen Abu Mazen’s position, he wants Israel to immediately declare a ‘Palestinian state’ in wide swaths of Judea and Samaria, which would of course also be turned over to Abu Mazen.
As a bonus (not mentioned in the article), Abu Mazen would presumably then drop his appeal to the United Nations.
The Israeli government is said to be furious because if Israel does not agree, Obama will not back a ground operation, effectively a veto.
Although this has no sourcing, it makes too much sense. It explains why the Israeli government has not agreed to it. We’re being asked to choose our poison.
What could go wrong?
UPDATE 10:09 PM
A cease fire was declared an hour ago. Prime Minister Netanyahu apparently decided he would rather let Hamas live to fight another day than give Fatah all of Gaza and most of Judea and Samaria for their ‘state.’ Probably the right move under the circumstances.
