Israeli sources say one-month ceasefire a possibility
25 August 2014 09:32 BST
Israeli military sources report that Egypt may announce a one-month ceasefire in Gaza late on Monday, according to the Hebrew language site Walla.
The Israeli sources said Hamas and Islamic Jihad have agreed to the deal, however, there has been no announcement from either group as to the rumoured deal.
Walla said the proposed agreement will allow for “the first stage” of opening the Rafah crossing and expand Gaza’s fishing zone to 12 nautical miles. The site added that Israel will slowly allow more commercial products into Gaza, to include construction materials, through the Kerem Shalom crossing.
It remains to be seen how credible the report is, as no Palestinian officials have commented on it.
