Hamas Weighing Israel's Ceasefire Terms
(Ynet News) Elior Levy - Hamas deputy politburo chief Mousa Abu Marzook said Sunday that the group rejected Israel's terms for a ceasefire, while Hamas spokesman Razi Hamed told Al-Jazeera that Israel and Hamas had agreed on 90% of an outline for a truce. Abu Marzook told Al-Arabiya that Israel is discussing a possible settlement with Egyptian mediators but has presented two preconditions that were not acceptable to Hamas: a demilitarized zone near the border and a cessation of weapons smuggling via tunnels. He confirmed that Hamas officials are negotiating a ceasefire in Cairo.
