Cairo: The Israeli and Gaza authorities agreed to cease fire after the four day disastrous attacks of Israel on Gaza which killed at least 25 Palestinians, media reported on Tuesday.
According to reports the Egyptian government played an important role to reach a cease fire despite current difficulties and the refusal of Israel to stop its activities in the Gaza Strip.
The Egyptian ambassador to the Palestinian Authority who is involved in the efforts to bring about the ceasefire said that Egyptian intelligence has been talking with Amos Gilad, head of the Israeli Defense Ministry’s diplomatic-security bureau since Sunday, as well as with different Palestinian factions, with an emphasis on Hamas.
“Egypt is determined to reach a ceasefire within 48 hours,” said Yasser Othman.
According to him, the attempt to reach an agreement for a ceasefire between Sunday night and Monday failed, after the two sides continued fire.
“We are doing everything to end this round of violence at the earliest opportunity possible,” the Egyptian diplomat said.
“We will try again to do this today. We are continuing to work in order to have a quiet night. We want both sides to stop firing, but we still have not received final answers.”
