Hamas is trying to let life return to normal. Pictures of Gazans at the beach today on the internet confirm that this run-away militia is making a bid to have a period of calm, before launching ... themselves.
The release of BBC correspondent Alan Johnston, partly the work of the BBC itself, may also be part of a near-term charm offensive.
Hamas is a governing entity that has power non-democratically (their authority was removed when the government was dissolved by Abbas).
There needs to be pressure. It would be a grave mistake to leave the Hamas to their own devices.
