I welcome the ceasefire between Gaza and Israel after 11 days of deadly hostilities. I call on all sides to observe the ceasefire.
The international pressure to put a stop on the bloodshed resulted in the truce which began on May 10. Along with Egypt, Gaza’s second most powerful armed group, Islamic Jihad, agreed to the truce.
two Egyptian delegations will be dispatched to Tel Aviv and the Palestinian territories to monitor its (the cease-fire) implementation and procedures to maintain stable conditions permanently.
Diplomatic sources told AFP in Cairo.
It has been reported that celebrations were heard on Gaza streets after the truce was declared. Car horns and guns were fired in the air.
A massive congratulations to the brave people of Palestine for their resilience and their resistance to Israeli terror.
Palestinians will NOT put up with their children being killed, or their homes and lands being usurped.
