| | israelinsider: Cease-fire: two interpretations |
 | | But for the Israeli and Palestinian peoples these two words, cease and fire, are more a metaphysical concept than a physical reality. |
 | | For Sharon and for the general Israeli public, a cease-fire is interpreted literally - a cessation of fire, hence, a cessation of wanton, random shootings, an end to suicide bombings in public, civilian settings, a total cessation of hostility. |
 | | Until now, as outlined in both American brokered documents, Mitchell and Tenet, a ten-day period of ceased fire was the minimum Israeli requirement needed before the move to resumed negotiations. |
