GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Talks about a long-term truce between Hamas and Israel have surfaced again after it was revealed that there had been an initiative to reach an understanding that could last for years, in return of achieving complete stability on the Israeli borders with the Gaza Strip, and ending the siege.
The initiative was made about two months ago by Robert Serry, UN special coordinator for the peace process in the Middle East, between the main parties, Hamas and Israel, as well as the Palestinian Authority (PA) in Ramallah and Egypt, the recent war’s cease-fire agreement sponsor.
