At 23:00 a new ceasefire was proclaimed between Fatah and Hamas. President Abu Mazen and PM Haniyeh agreed on the ceasefire after the previous one collapsed into renewed violence. Today six people were killed in the fighting. Both Abu Mazen and Haniyeh called on their people to respect the ceasefire.
Several sources said that gunfire can still be heard in Gaza despite the retreat of a great number of armed operatives of both factions.
Abu Mazen plans to call for early election despite Hamas's objection.
What will be made of this ceasefire is yet to be seen.
