...emergency lending window. It has lowered interest rates to zero. Treasury has put $25 billion into each of the money center banks. It is now backing over $300 billion in bad assets held by Citigroup (C) through a loss-sharing agreement. Bank of America (BAC) is getting a similar deal. The programs to back bad assets is almost certainly going to spread. (See pictures of TIME's Wall Street covers...

They still wish to see Abbas' authority reimposed as part of any truce. More realistically, perhaps, Arab mediators and the U.N. Security Council have urged that cease-fire plans restore reconciliation between Abbas and Hamas. Arab countries had previously brokered a national-unity...
