The dog that didn't bark and hope in the MidEast

[DSeid]

A terror attack in Israel despite the hudna and no reprisal by IDF. A significant item of non-news. Restraint. Israel still considering more prisoner releases despite being threatened by terrorist factions demanding it. Abbas threatens to resign over conflict with Arafat’s factions and, with words of encouragement from Mubarek, Arafat stands down. Meanwhile this little bit in Ha-Aretz: http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/316675.html

Palestinians work with Israel to arrest Jihad militant in Jenin By Amos Harel <mailto:contact@haaretz.co.il>, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaretz Service

Palestinian intelligence services in the West Bank
recently worked in coordination with Israel to
arrest an Islamic Jihad militant in Jenin, and
later transferred the individual to a Palestinian
Authority prison in Jericho, Israel Radio reported
Thursday morning.

According to a senior security
source, even skeptics in the
defense establishment believe
that at present the efforts
made by Palestinians to reach
an agreement with Israel are
sincere, Israel Radio reported
on Thursday

Dare I actually get my hopes up that the small steps are beginning to be made?
