以色列提议加沙休战期延长三天Israel has offered to extend a three-day ceasefire in Gaza which began on Tuesday after nearly a month of conflict, Israeli officials say.以色列政府提出加沙地区的休战协议延长三天，此次休战从本周二开始，结束了该地区将近一个月的冲突。 But there has so far been no agreement from the militant Hamas movement, which controls Gaza, as indirect talks continue in Cairo. US President Barack Obama has said a more durable truce requires risks being taken by leaders on both sides. He said trust needs to rebuilt, which was difficult after a time of violence. "Long term, there has to be a recognition that Gaza cannot sustain itself permanently closed off from the world," said the US president, speaking in Washington. More than 1,800 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and 67 Israelis, mainly soldiers, have died in the conflict. A Thai national in Israel was also killed. Gaza's health ministry listed 1,867 people as killed. The UN says more than 1,300 were civilians, and more than 400 were children.
