More rockets, no official regocnition of a valid Jewish state.
Basically it just underlines the fact that Hamas seems to use whatever points they can to justify a violent campaign against jewish life.

Thing is though, there hasn't been an attack on Israel from the West Bank since possibly Yasser Arafat's days (not 100% sure about this), yet Israel continues to build settlements there. Gaza has been relentless in attacking Israel since Hamas took control, and what do they get? Removal of all Israeli settlements from Gaza. I don't know, if I was living in Gaza, it would be tough not to support those guys, however destructive they may be.
If the Palestinians saw a real concerted effort by the Israelis towards a lasting peace, I'm sure they would lay down their arms. However, at the moment, it seems as though more is getting done by killing Israelis (as well as themselves).
