Israel, Palestinians make deal on Gaza

This is a good thing:

JERUSALEM, Nov. 15 - Israel and the Palestinian Authority clinched a rare agreement and settled a bitter dispute today when they resolved to allow Palestinians to travel in and out of the Gaza Strip with relative freedom.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced the deal after mediating marathon negotiations that lasted through the night.

Apparently Condi deserves much of the credit for twisting arms to broker it. We commend her.
