Earlier on Wednesday, US Secretary of State John Kerry discussed on phone with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas about the possibility to reach a ceasefire deal to end the fighting in Gaza between Israel and militants of Islamic Hamas Movement.
Earlier on Tuesday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who was on a visit to the West Bank Palestinian city of Ramallah and Israel, urged the warring sides to stop fighting and start talks on a ceasefire.
All regional and international efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza have failed so far.
