Khaled Elgindy : Any Gaza truce wo n't last without a more farsighted approach . Elgindy : The only way to end the conflict is through negotiations, not by military action. Conflict makes Hamas politically stronger , while Palestinian Authority is weak , he says .

Elgindy : The two must be reconciled , cooperate and be included in peace process .
