The Hamas leadership is examining an Egyptian truce plan for the Gaza Strip after a delegation from the Palestinian Islamists held talks with Egyptian officials in Cairo.The two-man delegation of Emad al-Alami and Mohammed Nasr left Cairo for Damascus on Wednesday to report their discussions with Egyptain officials, including intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, to Hamas's Syrian-based leadership.
"The movement is studying the initiative," a Hamas official in Syria told AFP.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak put forward a truce plan for the ravaged territory late Tuesday aimed at ending Israel's assault which has killed more than 680 Palestinians and ending militant rocket fire.
The plan hopes to install a temporary ceasefire followed by an official truce, the securing of Gaza's border and the opening of crossing points to and from the isolated territory.
Egypt mediated a previous six-month truce between Israel and Hamas which expired on Dec. 19, heralding the latest violence.
