Gaza Cease-Fire Holds As Israeli Official Warns Of 'Gaps' Between Sides In Talks -- FOX News
An Israeli official has warned of "gaps" that separates his side from coming to an agreement with their Palestinian counterparts on a long-term truce in the Gaza Strip as marathon talks were due to resume Tuesday in Cairo.
A temporary Israel-Hamas truce was holding for a second day Tuesday as the Israeli military said no incidents between the two sides were registered overnight -- neither Hamas rocket fire at Israel nor Israeli strikes in Gaza.

Hamas is seeking an end to an Israeli-Egyptian border blockade of the Gaza Strip while Israel wants Hamas to disarm.
