Egypt said to present final ceasefire draft
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEgypt presents a revised draft for a long-term ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which would implement the agreement in two stages by early 2015, Palestinian media reports.
But the arrangement was rejected by Hamas, it reports.
Under the new outline, the negotiations for a port and airport, as well as the exchange of the bodies of IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin and the release of Palestinian prisoners would be pushed off by a month.
Meanwhile, Israel would open its crossings and gradually withdraw its troops from the buffer zone in the Gaza Strip, to be replaced by PA forces.
