Hudna or Peace Agreement?

"If Israel withdraws to the 1967 borders, peace will prevail and we will implement a cease-fire [hudna] for many years," Haniyeh said during an interview in his south Gaza office. "Our government is prepared to maintain a long-term cease-fire with Israel."

Palestinian Transportation Minister Ziad Zaza described the hudna during the interview as "the cease-fire that will be renewed automatically each time."

What also bugs me about the "cease fire" is Hamas's insistence on maintaining the fiction of a "war" between two equal parties, which is how Israel loves to represent matters.
