Egyptian mediators have proposed a new ceasefire deal that would see Gaza’s borders opened reports the BBC.
The latest initiative, proposed on Monday, calls for an indefinite ceasefire, immediate openings of Gaza's crossings with Israel and Egypt for aid and long-term talks on easing the blockade on Gaza, reports Reuters.
"There is an idea for a temporary ceasefire that opens the crossings, allows aid and reconstruction material, and the disputed points will be discussed in a month," a Palestinian official told AFP.
A new round of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza strip killed at least nine Palestinians as the most recent conflict between Hamas and Israel reached its seventh week on Monday, reports Reuters.
Hamas launched over 100 rockets at southern Israel said the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) which killed 8 Israelis , reports the BBC.
