#1 Gee. A lot has happened in the last 10 years. I wonder what would happen in the next 10.

No.

#2 The famous hudna, namely, the Treaty of Hudaybiyya, was for 10 years (of course Mohamet broke the treaty in its 2nd year)and thus a lot of sources say that 10 is the longest that can be offered

Thus Haniyeh is on thin theological ground in offering up to 20. Somebody might assasinate him for that.

#3 I don't think one can "honour" a hudna. It's a one-sided respite to be ended at the whim of the declarer. "Ceasefire" doesn't exist in the vocab. That would be "run away and rearm".

#4 ..People in Hell would be prepared to accept ice water. They ain't gonna get that, either.

#5 The '67 borders, eh? The reason those borders are no longer in place is because someone started a war and that someone lost. As a general rule of thumb, losers don't have much say in determining borders after a conflict. Sorry.
