UK says Hamas showing some urgency on cease-fire

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said Monday that Egyptian negotiators have indicated Hamas is showing some urgency in its desire for a cease-fire deal to end the fighting in Gaza. "There is a measure of urgency. Hamas were in Egypt yesterday. But there are some fundamental issues to overcome," Miliband said.

Those issues, he said, include the smuggling of arms and other goods across the Egyptian border and wider disputes over access to and control of border crossings, including the Rafah crossing with Egypt. Miliband called on both Israel and Hamas to commit to an immediate cease-fire. (AP)
