Good, bad, worrying and missing - news.

Still no much rest in the new job, but lots of fun.

I checked the news tonight after quite a while I didnt get to it.
Good things.. bad things.. worrying things.. and some things are plain missing (should add a '!' to emphasize it).

Good things seem to happen in Lebanon as the Israeli army has done another major step in pulling out from the land that was entered in the last war; And the Lebanese army has raised its flag near the border.

Bad things are happening in Gaza as the social and political chaos grows and no unity is seen in the horizon between all political layers of Gaza society (from supporters to enforcers and up to the leaders of Fatah and the Hamas).

Worrying things as Iran keeps playing the negotiation game they master. Worrying as chaos is growing also in Iraq and no solution is to be seen there as well.

But so so missing is any strong statements of Israel or Lebanon or a third party (perhaps Egypt? perhaps Jordan? perhaps Saudi?.. somebody?!) to indicate that there is any communication at all. To hint that stagnation has not creeped already.
Is the lack of such statement is a good sign ("no news is good news") or is it bad news ("what's there to tell")?
Or is it I missed the news on that day when a strong statement was said?
