Palestinian groups disown truce

No surprise there.

The BBC reports "Hamas and Islamic Jihad have said they are not bound by the ceasefire agreed between Palestinian and Israeli leaders at a summit in Egypt on Tuesday."

"The resistance is not committed to what has been agreed at the summit today since the Palestinian conditions were not achieved.

"We consider that there is no truce and there is no deal to stop the resistance."

An Islamic Jihad spokesman, Mohammed al-Hindi, said the summit had brought "nothing new".

Will this change the BBC's pro-Palestinian/anti-Israeli coverage?

The BBC's Middle East correspondent, James Reynolds, notes that little appears to have changed since the truce was declared.

Palestinians will still have to queue up at Israeli army checkpoints if they want to leave their towns or cities and security guards will still stand outside Israel's shops and cafes on the look-out as always for suicide bombers.

Sheesh, I guess not. Since the two terrorists groups say they will not abide by the truce what does Reynolds expect Israel to do?

If nothing has changed, how does Reynolds account for this?

Israel is expected to free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners shortly and hand over control of some West Bank towns.

Reports say families will be able to visit other Palestinians detained in Israeli jails and hundreds of Palestinian workers will also soon be allowed back into Israel.

Wait and see how the BBC report the next Palestinian terrorist attack.
