** 19-May-2021 World View: Hamas claims ceasefire with Israel by Friday

There are reports that Hamas is saying that there will be a ceasefire
between Hamas and Israel by Friday. This would be the result of
intense mediation efforts by Egypt.
Apparently there are two versions of the intended ceasefire.
In one version, the ceasefire applies only to the rocket/missile
exchanges between Gaza and Israel, but does not apply to the clashes
in the West Bank between Jews and Arabs.
In the other version, the ceasefire applies to all fighting, but Hamas
requies that Israel must end all incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque in
Jerusalem, and must not evict Palestinians from their homes.
On Wednesday, Joe Biden spoke to Israel's prime minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and demanded that be on the "path to a ceasefire today."
Nonetheless, it's far from clear that Netanyahu will go along with
either version of the ceasefire or, if the ceasefire occurs, that it
will last more than a few days.
I note particularly note that the Israeli court hearing to evict the
threatened evictions of Palestinians from their homes, based on a
pre-1948 document, is to occur in June.
