JERUSALEM - The Israeli and Palestinian leaders will declare a formal end to more than four years of fighting at a summit Tuesday in Egypt, both sides said Monday.


Israeli and Palestinian negotiators finalized the agreement during last-minute preparations Monday.

“The most important thing at the summit will be a mutual declaration of cessation of violence against each other,” said Saeb Erekat, a Palestinian negotiator.

An Israeli government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the cease-fire agreement, saying that the deal would also include an end to Palestinian incitement.

6. Hezbollah is not mentioned

and they have no intention of having a truce.

Coming from Iran, they know they cannot fail.
