Israel probably will agree to an informal truce with Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip if cross-border rocket attacks and arms smuggling into the territory end, an unnamed member of Israel’s security Cabinet told Reuters on May 1. The individual reportedly said, “There will not be a signed agreement between Israel and Hamas, obviously. But there is nothing to stop each side from independently making an undertaking with the Egyptians. That, in effect, would be a tacit truce deal.” The official added that Israel was waiting to see the results of Egyptian mediation, which Cairo’s intelligence chief Omar Suleiman will soon be delivering to Israeli officials in Jerusalem.
