Israel to Consider Egyptian-Brokered Gaza Ceasefire Proposal

JERUSALEM, May 11, 2008, (WAFA) - Israel said on Sunday that it would consider an Egyptian-brokered Gaza ceasefire proposal signed by 12 Palestinian factions.
 
Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai told public radio that Israeli government would examine the proposal from the Egyptians, who are an important strategic element in the region.
 
'Egyptian Intelligence Director, Omar Suleiman will come here, we will listen to him and we will see what he is proposing. Then we will make decisions, but at the moment nothing has been put on the table,' Vilnai said.
 

A senior Israeli official said after a cabinet meeting that Suleiman would arrive in Jerusalem Monday to discuss the situation in Gaza.
