Egypt and possibly Qatar present cease-fire deal to Israel, Hamas

Egypt and another Arab country, most likely Qatar, created an initial draft of a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. The draft, which was presented to both parties, includes Hamas' demands to release 56 prisoners who were previously released in the deal for Gilad Shalit and then imprisoned again during Operation Brother's Keeper in the West Bank.

 

As of late Saturday morning, Hamas has refused to discuss the appeal for a cease-fire. The Israeli State told the authors of the draft that Israel would be willing, in principle, to dicuss the details of the deal.
