Israel and Hamas may have reached an agreement

[HermitHogan]

That's all well and good, but Hamas cannot be allowed to remain in control of Gaza. Perhaps some international force needs to govern for a few decades until the area is stabilized, at which time they can have an election. Of course, Hamas was elected in 2005 when Gaza was given near total autonomy, so there's the risk of history repeating itself.
