Hmm ... is Israel pushing for peace for some reason? Do they think that Obama will win and is not going to be as supportive of Israel, and so they feel some pressure? Just wondering ... could be wrong, of course.

"Israel officially confirmed Wednesday that a cease-fire with the Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip will begin this week in an effort to end a year of fighting that has killed more than 400 Palestinians and seven Israelis.

"The confirmation came as Israel on Wednesday also urged Lebanon to open peace talks, the latest in a flurry of developments aimed at easing the multiple conflicts in the region."
