Both sides agreed to stop attacks for 12 hours, so food and aid can get to palestinians inside gaza. Diplomats had hoped for a longer ceasefire. That didnt happen, instead they are about to begin a day of meetings in paris. Jonathan betz is here with more. Diplomats hope a 12hour pause will lay the ground work. Al jazeera obtained a document outlining the key points. A ceasefire in 2012 is aimed at providing a sustainable solution. It ensures the livelihoods of the palestinians. It also offers a 7day pause in violence so israel can pull out its troops and allow food and medicine in. That is a longterm side. The hope was to stop the fighting for address. For now theyll be paused for a few hours. After 18 days of violence serious talks the fighting may stop briefly for the first time. We are confident we have a fundamental framework that can work. Secretary of state john kerry left cairo hoping for a long term deal. Both sides appear to be close to agreeing to a short truce beginning tomorrow. They have indicated a willingness to do that as a good faith downpayment. Still in the works, a 7day ceasefire, israel related the idea, not willing to pull troops out of gaza. We are trying to bring cessation to the violence. Earlier ceasefires failed. Hamas demanded israel lift the blockates after weeks of fighting including an attack at school, patients is running thin.

Secretary of state john kerry is headed to paris with the hopes of extending the 12hour peace fire. Jonathan betz, thank you. John bradshaw is executive director of the National Security network, a group of analysts. I afghanistaned about the significance of saturdays temporary ceasefire. Its an important step, the first time that both sides agreed to a ceasefire. Obviously its not enough to change the situation. But it does bode well for coming up with an agreement leading to a longer 7day ceasefire that secretary kerry has proposed. The secretary said they have a good framework, that both sides are buying into. There are obstacles to be worked out. There is hope that after the 12hour ceasefire that starts saturday morning, therell be momentum to a longer 7day ceasefire. And the secretary of state john kerry heads to europe tomorrow. What does he hope to accomplish there. The europeans have a role to play. They are not the ones that will broker a deal. That will rely on turkey and qatar, who have been the go betweens with hamas. I think the europeans can play a supportive role, and some of the e. U. Diplomats have been engaged. Its a useful stop. And i think the real action will be back in the region when if qatar can provide the right incentives to hamas, to agree to the propose accuracy fire. And qatar, which provides funding for Al Jazeera America, they have been the go between between hamas and the rest of the world. What are the qataris telling hamas. From what i understand they have been encouraging hamas to agree to a ceasefire. There might be some financial incentives for paying salaries other things that have existed. The Economic Situation is miserable. And one of the things that may come out of the whole sorry episode with so much violence is exnegotiations. It could lead to Better Living conditions for the palestinians and gaza. We are a long way away from that.

Some republicans are saying they shouldnt leave until they get their own ideas hammered out. At this point its not like lug theyll come out with anything.
