Israel to cease all military against Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip with Egypt as deal guarantor
Israel and Hamas agreed late last night to a ceasefire brokered by Egypt on the eighth day of intensive Israeli fire on the Gaza Strip and militant rocket attacks out of the enclave, Israeli, Palestinian, and Egyptian sources said.
Egyptian state TV earlier had a news conference at President Mohamed Mursi’s palace where US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the ceasefire alongside Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr.
