Talks on Gaza truce still ongoing

Mohit Joshi 21 May 2008

Tel Aviv/Cairo - Israel Wednesday would not confirm or deny Egyptian statements that it had accepted in principle a proposal for a truce in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's spokesman, Mark Regev, said the truce had not yet been finalized.

"The process is still ongoing. It is still work in progress," he told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. "We are continuing our dialogue with Egypt."

On Monday, Defence Minister Ehurd Barak had delivered Israel's response to the truce proposal. On Tuesday, a Hamas delegation had met Egyptian Intelligence Chief Omar Suleiman to discuss Israel's response. (dpa)
