Israel offers 18-month cease-fire, urges PA to sever talks with Israel

Cairo-APA. Talks between senior Hamas members and Egyptian officials in Cairo on a new cease-fire arrangement for the Gaza Strip continued late last night amid new warnings by a top Hamas official that arms smuggling would continue, APA reports.
The Hamas delegation met with the heads of Egyptian intelligence who transmitted to them Israel’s positions. There appears to be disagreement at this point over the length of the truce: Hamas spokesman in the Gaza Strip, Ayman Taha, said Hamas would agree to a cease-fire of no more than between one year and 18 months, while the Egyptians are demanding a truce of a number of years’ duration. Another Hamas spokesman, Ismail Radwan, said a long-term cease-fire "kills" the right to resistance by the Palestinians.
