Report: Hamas Agrees to Long-Term Truce
[AP/Washington Post] Salah Nasrawi - Hamas deputy leader Moussa Abu Marzouk said Thursday in Cairo that the Islamic militant group agreed to an 18-month truce with Israel for Gaza, the official Egyptian news agency MENA reported. Egyptian diplomats have been working as go-betweens to try to arrange a truce deal between Hamas and Israel. Israel has insisted that any cease-fire must include an end to firing rockets from Gaza into Israel and a halt to Hamas arms smuggling.
