Report: US source says Kerry negotiating week-long Gaza ceasefire
US Secretary of State John Kerry offered on Friday a two-stage outline for a truce in the Gaza Strip that would began with a week-long ceasefire starting on Sunday, an American source told the New York Times.
According to the source in the Times, the moment the temporary ceasefire comes into effect, Israeli and Palestinian officials – and international delegates – will begin negotiating the security, economic, and political issues of the Gaza Strip. The source said one major disagreement is over the Israeli wish to leave soldiers in Gaza during the ceasefire.
