Hamas 'to attend' Cairo truce talks

 An EU delegation has arrived in Egypt for talks
aimed at achieving a ceasefire [AFP]


Palestinian group Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, has announced it will send a delegation to Egypt for ceasefire negotiations as diplomatic efforts to end the fighting in Gaza intensified.

Ayman Taha, a Hamas official told the Reuters news agency on Monday that agroup would head to Cairo "answering an Egyptian invitation to hold discussions".

Taha did not say whether the delegation would include Hamas members from Gaza or exiled leaders.

The talks are set to coincide with the arrival of Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, in the region, to push for a European-backed ceasefire.

While blaming Hamas for provoking Israeli military action by firing rockets into southern Israel, Sarkozy also condemned Israel's deployment of ground troops into the territory.

Tony Blair, the Middle East envoy for the Quartet comprising the UN, the EU, Russia and the US, met Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence minister, on Sunday in an effort to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas

"It's a very, very interesting, demanding, tough first 24 hours right now, Barak told reporters, referring to the ongoing ground offensive in Gaza.

"We are committed to follow through to continue as long as needed to achieve our objectives."

The UN Security Council is also set to meet again on Monday to discuss the crisis following an emergency session on Sunday that failed to produce a resolution or even a statement calling for a halt to the fighting.

Calls for a ceasefire from the United States, Israel's main backer, other foreign governments and the United Nations has failed to gain traction over disagreements about who should stop shooting first.

Offensive intensifies

As a ground offensive gathers pace, the Israeli military operation that also includes aerial and naval bombardment of the strip has killed at least 509 Palestinians and injured more than 2,450.

Four Israelis have been killed by Palestinian rocket attacks.

The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union pledged an additional $4.2m of emergency aid for Gaza and called on Israel to respect international law.

A high-level EU delegation also arrived in Egypt on Sunday in a diplomatic push for a ceasefire.

The delegation, headed by Karel Schwarzenberg, the Czech foreign minister, whose country currently hold the EU presidency, held talks with Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the Egyptian foreign minister in Cairo.

The group also includes Javier Solana, the EU foreign policy chief, and the foreign ministers of France and Sweden.

The EU said in a statement that food, emergency shelter items and medical supplies were urgently needed by Palestinians in Gaza and that the aid would be "deployed as rapidly as possible".

Qatari call

The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, called on Arab leaders to be more proactive and hold an emergency Arab summit to try to end Israel's offensive.

He also told Israel that its invasion of Gaza was counterproductive and would perpetuate animosity between Arabs and Jews for generations.

"To Israel's leaders, I say: killing the innocent civilians and the military arrogance will not bring security to you, or to us. It will lead to catastrophic results.

"Those who planned this war, did they ever think of the angry Arab and Palestinian generations who are growing up in the middle of such incidents?

"Some of my Arab brothers decided to go to the [UN] Security Council instead of holding an Arab summit. However, once again, we see that that the international community is not willing to listen to us and will not unless we assert our common will.

"Before asking the international community to listen to us, we should start by listening to the voices of our own Arab people. Thus, we reiterate our call to hold an emergency Arab summit. I leave this option up to the leaders of the Arab world."

Russia on Sunday said it was "extremely concerned" by Israel's land operation in Gaza and said it was sending a special envoy to the region to help bring about a ceasefire by both sides.

Protests continue

Meanwhile, international protests against the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip continued.

Thousands of university students in Jordan marched to the country's
parliament on Sunday, calling for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador, as Nader Dahabi, the country's prime minister told legislators that his government was weighing its relations with Israel.

There were also protests in Turkey, where organisers claimed 700,000 people had turned out for an anti-Israeli demonstration.

Protesters called on Turkey to re-evaluate ties with the Jewish state if it does not halt its offensive.

Thousands of demonstrators in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, denounced Israel as a "terrorist" force and called on the government to send troops to fight Israeli forces.

"Indonesia's military must go to war against Israel, not just as peacekeepers. We ask the government to send troops there, not just medicine," Farid Wadjdi, the local head of the Hizbut Tahrir movement, was quoted as saying by news website Detikcom.

Hundreds of civilians have been killed in the fighting,
509 Palestinians and four Israelis [AFP]


Israel intensifies assault on Gaza


Israel has said that its offensive in Gaza could take "many long days" as its troops moved deeper into the Palestinian territory in the second day of its ground attack.

Troops backed by air and naval power surrounded Gaza City and in effect sliced the territory in two.

An Israeli air strike hit two ambulances in Gaza on Sunday, killing four paramedics as they tried to reach those injured in the offensive.

Israeli government officials say they are not targeting civilians, only trying to stop rockets by the Palestinian Hamas movement governing Gaza, which are still being fired into southern Israel.

Civilian injuries and casualties in Gaza continue to mount and the toll now stands at 509, with 64 killed since the ground offensive began, according to Palestinian medical authorities. Some 2,450 have been injured.

Among the latest victims were a mother and her four young children, killed in an Israeli air strike on their home in Gaza.

Four Israeli civilians have been killed and two injured by Palestinian rocket attacks.

The International Red Cross has urged Israel and Hamas to stop targeting civilians.

The military wings of rival Palestinian factions in Gaza have united to fight against the advancing Israeli troops. One Israeli soldier has been killed and 49 wounded.

On the diplomatic front, a Hamas official said a delegation would head to Cairo on Monday, "answering an Egyptian invitation to hold discussions" on a ceasefire.

The talks are set to coincide with the arrival of Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, in the region, to push for a European-backed ceasefire.

The UN Security Council is also set to meet on Monday to discuss the crisis following an emergency session on Sunday that failed to produce a resolution or even a statement calling for a halt to the fighting.

Israel's ground offensive launched on Saturday followed eight days of intense bombardment of the Gaza Strip, purportedly aimed at ending cross-border rockets being fired by Hamas fighters from the territory into southern Israel.

Hamas defiant

An undaunted Hamas has vowed to fight back and defeat the Israeli forces. A spokesman for Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas, told Al Jazeera on Sunday that Israeli troops faced death or capture.

"The battle has just started and the enemy should endure the consequences and results. They should be ready for the bad news coming from the Gaza Strip," Abu Obeida, a spokesman, said.

Hamas said it had captured two Israeli soldiers but the Israeli army denied that.

Shimon Peres, the Israeli president, rejected the possibility of a ceasefire but said Israel did not intend to occupy Gaza. 

"We don't intend neither to occupy Gaza nor to crush Hamas, but to crush terror. And Hamas needs a real and serious lesson. They are now getting it," Peres said on Sunday.

Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros, reporting from the Shifa hospital in Gaza City, said doctors were struggling to cope amid low supplies and the rising number of wounded.

She said the scene was chaotic, with doctors treating the injured on the floor.

Humanitarian crisis

Fears of a humanitarian crisis have also grown in recent days, as the strip, home to 1.5 million people, is already suffering shortages of fuel, food and medical supplies due to a two-year economic blockade imposed by Israel.

Israeli positions in Gaza

The International Committee for the Red Cross said on Sunday its medical emergency team had been prevented for a third day from entering the territory.

Egypt has also completely closed the Rafah crossing, cutting off aid supplies to the territory.

The UN has warned that there were "critical gaps" in aid reaching Gaza, despite claims from Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister, that there was no crisis and that aid was getting through.

Christopher Gunness, the UN Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa) spokesman, said the idea that there was no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, was absurd.

"The organisation for which I work - Unrwa - has approximately 9,000 to 10,000 workers on the ground. They are speaking with the ordinary civilians in Gaza... People are suffering. A quarter of all those being killed now are civilians. So when I hear people say we're doing our best to avoid civilian casualties that rings very hollow indeed."

Elsewhere in the strip, heavy artillery, tracer fire and rockets could be heard while reports said Israeli troops had reached the northern towns of Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun.

Soldiers and fighters were also locked in gun battles east of the Hamas stronghold of Zeitoun.

Al Jazeera's Ayman Mohyeldin, reporting from Gaza City, said power lines have been cut throughout Gaza and more than 250,000 people in the northern part of the territory were without electricity.

'No picnic'

Witnesses in eastern Gaza told Al Jazeera that soldiers had begun house to house operations, moving from building to building. They had also taken positions on top of many of the rooftops in that area, the witnesses said.



Barak said the operation would be "expanded and intensified as much as necessary" [AFP]Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland, reporting from the Israeli side of the border, said the authorities there have been extremely tight-lipped about the operation.

However, the military confirmed that at least 30 soldiers have been wounded, two of them seriously, in the fighting so far.

Israel extended its naval blockade of Gaza early on Sunday, from six nautical miles to 20 nautical miles, preventing humanitarian aid and protest vessels from trying to break the siege.

It also captured the Hamas-affiliated Al Aqsa TV and has been broadcasting messages telling Hamas leaders to give themselves up.

Around 9,000 military reservists have been called up to assist in the ground assault.

Ehud Barak, Israel's defence minister, said that the operation was aimed at forcing Hamas "to stop its hostile activities against Israel and bring about significant change".

"The operation will be expanded and intensified as much as necessary," Barak said on Sunday. "War is not a picnic."
