A long-term truce on Gaza has been agreed with Israel, a senior Hamas official told AP. An announcement on the extended ceasefire is to be expected in Egypt. “The contacts that have been going on have agreed a permanent cease-fire, a [deal to] end the blockade and a guarantee that Gazas demands and needs will be met,” a Palestinian official also told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity. Earlier, Hamas deputy leader in Cairo, Moussa Abu Marzoul, told Haaretz: “The negotiations have ended and we have reached understandings that underscore the steadfast stance of the Palestinian people with the victory of the resistance.” “We are waiting for an official announcement to set the final hour and announce a cease-fire and an end to Israeli aggression.”
