Report: Israel 'green-lights' ceasefire

[oberliner]

While strikes in Gaza and rockets on Israel's southern communities continued Thursday, signs of a materializing ceasefire were also present. According to Egyptian diplomats, Israel is leaning towards accepting the country's truce initiative in Gaza.

Amos Gilad, the head of the Defense Ministry's Diplomatic-Security Bureau, has returned from his visit to Cairo, where he met with head of Egyptian intelligence, Omar Suleiman.

According to diplomatic sources in Egypt, Israel gave the ceasefire offered in Cairo a "green light", just one day after Hamas approved the plan's principle points.
