A senior Hamas official said Wednesday he expects Israel and Gaza militants to reach a ceasefire within one or two days.
I think that continued efforts over the ceasefire will succeed. I expect a ceasefire to be reached within one or two days, and the ceasefire will be on the basis of a joint agreement”, Hamas' political official Moussa Abu Marzouk told a Lebanese television.
According to a source of security in Egypt, the parties have agreed in principle on ceasefire after the assistance of mediators, but details of the agreement are still being discussed secretly, Reuters writes.
However, questioned whether the ceasefire will begin Friday, Israeli Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen said: “No. We're seeing enormous international pressure... we're going to complete the operation when we decide we've achieved our goals. ”
Since the beginning of the fighting on May 10th, 228 people have been reported killed in Gaza, while the attacks by Hamas and Islamic Jihad have killed 12 people in Israel.
