Hamas is in favor of a one-year truce with Israel in the Gaza Strip, spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said.
Barhoum told the French news agency that "Egypt offered an 18-month ceasefire, and we have not closed the door on that possibility yet. A ceasefire of a year or a year and a half will depend on the opening of all crossings, including the Rafah crossing, and in lifting the blockade." (AFP)
