Israel has agreed to substantially ease conditions in the Gaza Strip during the Cairo cease-fire talks, a senior official in Jerusalem said yesterday.
Israel's new position means that the two sides - Israel and the Palestinians, representing Hamas and the other Gazan militant groups - are now close to an agreement on a permanent cease-fire.
A 72-hour temporary cease-fire went into effect at midnight on Sunday and was respected by both sides throughout Monday. With the cease-fire holding, the Israeli delegation to the talks retrurned to Cairo.
