The peace treaties with Gaza, under Hamas, cannot last. Not because they keep on "breaking them" but because they are never really there.
Hamas stated more than once that they do not recognize Israel. For an Islamic State, the Qur'anic view point rules, and Jihad, is a duty over "occupied" land. So... Isn't it just like the "Hudaybiyya Conciliation Accord" -an agreement which the Prophet Muhammad signed in the year 628 A.D. with the infidels of his tribe, the Kuraysh. He did so upon their refusal to join the community of Islam, when he realized that he could not defeat them militarily. Two years later, having consolidated his power, he attacked Holy Mecca, slaughtered the men of his own tribe and torched all the symbols of their heathen culture.
When fundamentalist Muslims cannot impose their will for expanding the rule of Islam by force, they are permitted to sign temporary agreements with the non-believers. Such agreements are to be kept until Allah grants a sufficient increase in Muslim power. At that point the faithful are allowed (or obliged) to break the agreements and to impose Islamic terms on the infidels.
(There is no difference in politics, as most of you know, Islam is a way that includes every possible action in life, whether political, religious or social.
Any agreement with non-Muslims, such as a commitment to stop terrorism is simply a modern version of Hudaybiyya.
