“As part of a lasting cease-fire, Gaza’s border crossings should be open to allow the flow of aid and commerce, with an appropriate monitoring regime, with the international [community] and Palestinian Authority participating.” (FT.com)

Yep, just open up your borders and let people sword to destroy you come and go as they please. We all have seen how well an international monitoring "regime" works. What could go wrong?

Does this tell you anything about what kind of foreign policy he'll pursue:

The spokesman for President Abbas revealed that Mr Obama had told the Palestinian leader that their conversation was his first with a foreign statesman since taking office.

Not Israel. Palestine. Where they are sworn to destroy Israel.

We are so screwed.
