The details, though, were vague, and the likelihood existed that the agreement would lead Israel in a direction it didn’t want to go. Still, the Board of Peace, the body established to help implement the plan, never called Israel on the carpet for those apparent violations. Now, however, we have arrived at a true sticking point, a fundamental disagreement between the Board of Peace and Israel. Israel has also explicitly defied the first few clauses of the accord, which require both Israel and Hamas to cease any fighting. Israeli officials declared this unacceptable, but Board of Peace officials retorted that Israel had been informed of the timetable and order of operations months ago, and the terms shouldn’t have come as a surprise.
