    Reacting to the incursion, chief negotiator for the Palestinian Authority Saeb Erakat said: "What this will do is undermine the peace process."

    The Palestinian Authority is the government of President Mahmoud Abbas.
    Abbas, who also is a member of Hamas's rival Fatah party, dissolved Gaza's Hamas-led government and declared a state of emergency in 2007. Hamas took control of the territory shortly afterward.

    "We will defeat the army just like they were defeated before," Abu Thaer, spokesman for the military wing of Fatah -- the al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades -- told the television network Al Jazeera.

    Surely the Iranians have to make a move now?

    No, for some reason they are staying very quiet. I think this was expected during the last few weeks of Bush 2. Obama may have already been speaking to the Iranians.

    I sense the Israelis are going to blow up The Temple Mount and blame it on an Iranian missile.

    Sad to see this. Civilian casualties will go through the roof.

    Hopefully this will be quick incursion and civilian casualties will be kept to a minimum.

    Er, no. Was reading the Guardian today, and Fatah is not even coming out to overwhelmingly support the Gazans.

    Watching live feeds of missile strikes on Sky News now and it's really disconcerting watching bombs being dropped as I sit in the living room. There is a massive fire burning at the moment.

    A commentator on Sky said a "butchery" is imminent and it's hard to disagree with that considering the fact that bombs are being dropped willy nilly on the most densely populated area on earth.

    I must say, the Israeli propaganda has been incredible, but effective. Bush's dispicable comments today were beyond belief.

    Sadly I dont think they care about how many people they kill. They are just going to create more and deeper resistance to them also. Bloody disgracefull.
