Israel, Palestinians Begin Indirect Talks on Truce Details
(AP-CBS News) Israel and Palestinian militants from Gaza began indirect talks Monday in Egypt to negotiate new border arrangements for the Strip. An Israeli official said his country is prepared to help Gaza's civilians but would be wary of strengthening Hamas. In particular, he said the issue of arms smuggling would be high on the agenda. "Our assessment is that successfully preventing the rearmament of Hamas and other groups is an integral element of maintaining long-term peace and quiet."
