ISRAEL ACCEPTS 72-HOUR CEASE-FIRE WITH HAMAS
The Gaza war, now in its fourth week, has left more than 1,800 Palestinians and 60 Israelis dead
Israel has accepted a new 72-hour truce with Hamas that is set to begin Tuesday, a senior Israeli official told Fox News, after considering pulling its forces out of the Gaza Strip without a cease-fire deal.
The cease-fire will start at 8 a.m. local time (1 a.m. ET) and a Palestinian delegation in Cairo confirmed it has accepted the truce.
An Israeli delegation will head to Egypt for talks meant to work out a long-term truce in the next three days.
