The Israeli army's air and land attack on Gaza that began at the end of last year shocked international society, just as it was about to welcome the arrival of the year 2009. The unilateral ceasefire declared by Israel seems to have ameliorated the situation, but conditions are still volatile, and whether or not the ceasefire can be maintained is an issue of great concern.
