Palestinian and
Israel delegates were holding indirect discussion in Cairo today for a long term armistice in war
torn Gaza as the three day seize-fire entered its last 24 hours with no infiltrate
so far.
The clock was running
on the 72 hour truce amid Israel and Hamas that has brought aid to millions on
both sides after a combat killed nearly 1900 Palestinians and 67 people in
Israel, generally militia.
Egyptian officials,
who brokered the armistice that began on Tuesday, were running adjacent to the clock
today to influence both sides to agree a long term deal.
“Indirect deliberations
are lasting and we still have now to protect this,” an Egyptian official quoted when asked whether the ceasefire was likely to be extended beyond 0500 GMT
tomorrow.
“Egypt’s plan is to lower
and enlarge the armistice with the conformity of both sides and to commence consultation
towards an undeviating agreement to cease-fire and ease border limitations,” he
said, according to the BBC.
Israel has decided to
expand a truce that finished a month of fighting in Gaza ahead of a Friday
deadline an Israeli official said yesterday. “Israel ascribed an incompetent 72
hour armistice and is ready to expand an unqualified armistice,” the official was
quoted as saying by The Jerusalem post.
