Egyptian delegation in Gaza to discuss maintaining calm — report

An Egyptian delegation of security officials is in the Gaza Strip today for talks with the leadership of Hamas and other Palestinian factions on maintaining calm with Israel, Haaretz reports.

The meeting is taking place following recent rocket attacks and border skirmishes.

Hamas officials tell the newspaper they know Israeli leaders want quiet ahead of next week’s election. But in response, they say, they want further moves by Israel to ease the situation and improve conditions in the territory.
