Gaza Ceasefire Enters Final Hours as Cairo Talks Continue 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators are in their final hours of indirect
talks before the slated expiration of a second 72-hour ceasefire.
Violence could resume unless both sides agree to extend the truce or
reach a broader agreement. The Cairo negotiations have reportedly
touched on Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip, but there's been no
reported progress. Palestinians have made ending the blockade a key
demand.
