Mideast conflict ends? by Claudia Sonea

Israel and West Bank have come to an agreement. Due to an amnesty deal more than 300 Al Aqsa gunmen have surrendered and pledged against violence. Also according to officials 25 gunmen from Islamic Jihad (a terrorist group that shares the anti-Israeli ideology of Hamas) have turned against the group's leaders and surrendered. Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, a violent offshoot group, is tied to President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement and has carried attacks against Israelis since 2000. The main reason of the newly peace is that Islamic militant Hamas have gained Gaza as result of a violent takeover. Israeli officials stated they have not yet verified the Palestinian officials account; however, they do not doubt it. At the U.S.-sponsored Mideast conference in November, Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will present a future peace deal outlined at Monday's meeting in the West Bank town of Jericho at 1:00 p.m. Although the Palestinians are eager to regain their possession over West Bank cities again, Israel has not yet removed its West Bank checkpoints. That is still a problem to be solved and makes the Palestinian authorities restless, according to Riad Malki, Palestinian Information Minister. Besides the Israeli-Palestinian conflict there is still to be considered the issue of the 400 Hamas activists detained by Abbas' security forces and Hamas legislator Mona Mansour desires to know how many were released. Also 950 Palestinians trapped in Egypt by the Gaza-Egypt border's closure were returning to Gaza on Sunday via an Israeli-controlled crossing. The new signs of goodwill offer hope towards peace and the end of Mideast war. Despite the protest of the Holocaust survivors, the meetings for a future peace deal were held. There is time to put away all the hate and sorrow and look forgiven and full of hopes to a new future. With the speed of light surf on towards a new beginning!
