Looks like (some of) the Palestinians may be blowing it this time.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Tuesday said he was disappointed that Qassam fire from the Gaza Strip had continued into the third day of a mutual cease-fire.
"I very much hope the Palestinians will keep up their obligations and stop firing," Olmert said.

Militants identifying themselves as members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, the military wing of Fatah, took responsibility for the Qassam fire Monday. Security sources said the group appears to be an independent offshoot of Fatah, and that the PA's leadership and security forces are making a noticeable effort to prevent rocket fire.
Must any hope for peace always depend on the actions of the most violent link in the chain? My advice to Israel, for now: try to be chill.
