I'm not always ready to listen.
I may not be talking on phone,
I may not be writing or messaging,
I might look as though I'm ready..

But

I could be day-dreaming
I could be trying to recapture a word or memory
I might be savouring the silence

If I try to listen but fail, it's not personal.

Will we ever know what was promised or, what the threat was, that pushed #Netenyahu to sign off on this withdrawal fr #Gaza?

Is it more than a #ceasefire?
Is it solely a mechanism for removing #Hamas's only bargaining chip - the return of hostages?
