Egypt finalizing details of long-term Hamas-Israel truce

I will believe it when I see it.

Egypt is finalizing details of a long-term truce deal between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, an Egyptian security source said on Thursday, amid easing tensions on the border of the enclave where some two million Palestinians live.


Cairo has brokered an interim truce that has allowed commercial goods into Gaza ahead of the Muslim Eid al-Adha feast which starts next week.


“We are putting the final touches to the terms of the truce that will be signed by all sides, and we expect to announce the terms next week if Fatah helps us to do so,” the source said, referring to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s mainstream party which dominates the occupied West Bank.

It would be good for the region if it works.

Yes. That concerned a deal between Egypt and Israel and established the Multi Forces and Observers- my unit was detailed to them in 1988. The MFO patrols the Sinai.
