In Cairo three days of talks failed to yield a comprehensive Palestinian cease-fire as Hamas and Islamic Jihad rejected a full truce. They offered only a limited pause excluding settlements and West Bank or Gaza soldiers. Israel demanded a total halt and said it would stop shooting with a complete Palestinian truce. An additional meeting was planned with no date set.
