Egypt Seeking Extension of Gaza Cease-Fire
(Ha'aretz) Jack Khoury and Barak Ravid - With the current cease-fire due to end Monday at midnight, Israeli officials seemed doubtful that the talks in Cairo could achieve an agreement before the deadline, but stressed that if Hamas withheld its fire, negotiations could continue. Egypt is seeking a formula that will enable both Israel and Hamas and the other Palestinian factions to declare an extension of the temporary cease-fire so that talks can continue, Palestinian sources said Sunday.
