More details on Hamas statement on imminent deal
The official who releases the statement that a ceasefire deal may be close, Muhammad Abu Askar, is said by Channel 2 to be not a high-ranked Hamas official.
Abu Askar announces that a new document “with some changes” presented by Egypt is broadly acceptable to the Palestinian delegation.
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni says Hamas “must be weakened” and must be “tackled by force,” and does not confirm any imminent deal.
