Israel and PA try to shore up truce
Israeli and Palestinian security commanders met for the first time in a week to try to shore up a tentative truce. The two sides agreed on rebuilding the landing strip at Gaza International Airport that was destroyed by Israeli bulldozers. Opening hours at the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt were to be extended. The Israeli military lifted its blockade of Jericho. The city had been under closure for most of the 15 months of fighting.
