Hamas and Israeli delegates arrived late Monday in
Cairo to meet separately with Egyptian mediators to discuss details
of a ceasefire agreed last week that ended eight days of fighting in
the Gaza Strip.
A Hamas official in Beirut told dpa that the talks would focus on
Palestinian demands for the opening of more Israeli crossings into
Gaza to ease the six-year blockade on the enclave, which is ruled by
the Palestinian Islamist movement.
The ceasefire between Hamas and Israel came into force on
Wednesday, after the fighting killed some 170 Palestinians and six
Israelis.
Israel imposed restrictions on Gaza in 2006, following Hamas'
election victory.
The Palestinian and Israeli delegations never meet directly but
negotiate through Egyptian mediators.
