| Gaza Truce Negotiators Set New Talks for End of October |

| [AnNahar] Israeli and Paleostinian negotiators in Cairo on Tuesday agreed to schedule new talks on a durable Gazoo ceasefire for the last week of October, a Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, official said. A delay in the talks after their first Egypt-mediated negotiations since the end last month of a devastating 50-day war in Gazoo had been expected, because of upcoming Jewish and Moslem holidays. The Paleostinian delegation, which includes rival factions Hamas and president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... 's Fatah, will remain in Cairo this week to discuss resolving their own disputes. "We finished the indirect negotiations... it was agreed to resume them in the last week of October," senior Hamas negotiator Ezzat al-Rishq wrote on his Facebook page. Egypt's foreign ministry said the next round of indirect talks would be held in the second half of October in Cairo. During Tuesday's talks "both sides agreed to commit to the truce and have presented their suggestions for discussing pending issues," the ministry said in a statement. The Israeli negotiators left Cairo after Tuesday's talks, an official at Cairo airport said. The talks were almost derailed earlier on Tuesday as Paleostinian negotiators threatened to pull out after Israeli soldiers killed two suspects in the June murder of three Jewish teenagers in the West Bank. That incident shocked Israel and led to weeks of simmering violence culminating in the war between Israel and Hamas Death Eaters in Gazoo which killed more than 2,140 Paleostinians, most of them civilians, and 73 on the Israeli side, mostly soldiers. The war ended on August 26 with an agreement to hold future talks on Paleostinian demands to end an eight-year blockade of Gazoo and exchange prisoners in Israeli jails for the remains of Israeli soldiers killed in Gazoo. Rishq said the Paleostinian negotiators in Cairo proposed that the talks in October center on reconstructing Gazoo and setting up an airport and port in the Mediterranean enclave. Israel has insisted that Hamas, which possesses a considerable arsenal of short- and medium-range rockets, disarm. The July-August war caused a vast amount of destruction to homes and infrastructure in densely populated Gazoo, leaving more than 100,000 Paleostinians homeless in the long term, according to the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... Cairo is set to host an international donor conference on October 12 on reconstruction, amid warnings that the Paleostinian Authority should manage the work and the funds allocated to it, urging Hamas to hand over power in Gazoo to the PA. Hamas, an Islamist krazed killer movement designated as a terrorist group by the United States, Israel and the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... , will also hold separate negotiations in Cairo with Fatah representatives on Wednesday and Thursday. The factions formed a unity government in June to end a seven-year rift during which Hamas seized control of Gazoo, and the Islamists remain the de facto rulers of the coastal enclave. The talks in Cairo will focus on the transfer of power in Gazoo to the national unity government and on security there, a member of the Fatah delegation said. They are also expected to address withheld salaries for Hamas civil servants in Gazoo, one of the main stumbling blocks to implementing the reconciliation deal. |

| #1 They can't start till they have the 'Hamas Trick or Treat' celebration. Where they dress up in improbable costumes and knock on the doors of IDF checkpoints. Noisemakers, balloons, confetti, it's like a party, sort of. |
