I know, just trying to get rid of the last of the bombs that they had organized for this... As you said once an agreement has been met why the hell don't they just stop, just sick.

I believe you are correct. (and I see you are navigating twitter nicely!!)

Ok, so I go to town for a couple of hours and now we are back to a ceasefire.

Does anyone else feel like this is the movie groundhog day? Same crap over and over and over, every single day.

How long away is 20:00 in Cairo?

It is currently 7:18PM, so by my calculations (and I am hardly an expret in military time) but I think that 20:00 would be 8:00PM?? So about 45 minutes I should think.

Anyone out there feel free to correct me if I am wrong here.

not that difficult.. always minus 12

And yes you're correct

The alleged ceasefire starts at 9pm...BTW Israel hasn't said anything regarding this ceasefire...so so far there is no confirmation.

If I was the IDF I sure as # wouldn't let this fact be known.

Yes, thanks to you I am getting the hang of it quickly. And yes, it does remind me of Groundhog Day. I hope this is the real deal, but I remain skeptical until we see an actual press conference on this. WB by the way

ETA: Looks like there is a press conference that started just as I pressed the "send" button....fingers crossed

they are on now!! reuters.livestation.com...

A man is speaking on the feed I'm watching. Hilary is there. I wish there was a translator.

Ceasefire confirmed.

Ceasefire to start at 9pm Cairo time.

Almost makes me wonder what Hillary put on the table (for both sides).

It won't hold.

10 bucks says we hear a ton of explosions before it takes effect. I don't think it will hold either. We will find out in a little under 1 1/2 hours.

This sounds fragile...

PM Netanyahu spoke to President Obama and told him he agrees to give a chance to the Egyptian cease fire proposal and for a renewed calm

and.....

back to the sound of drones before it cut away to the provider id.

Going to be a very interesting few hours ahead of us. I think there may be a few twists and turns before we're done.

Hopefully both sides adhere to the cease fire.

I hope this sticks, but I'm more than a tad concerned that given the fact neither leadership of the main combatants in this 'war' can even speak or recognize beyond the status of 'target' their existence, what the hell kind of trust basis can they form a 'verbal' ceasefire agreement.

Sounds more to me like Lets stop for awhile and reload our weapons cache to me.

Just sayin'

Did anyone else watch their faces? Their expressions didn't seem right to me. Like they weren't happy.
