Israel Envoy Arrives in Cairo - just as 5 day ceasefire set to end.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/301728#.U_DIZmK9KSNIsraeli Negotiations Envoy Headed for Cairo
The Israeli negotiations envoy will land in Cairo on Sunday morning for further talks on a long-term ceasefire in Gaza.
Diplomatic sources estimate that the chance of an agreement before the Monday night scheduled end to the ceasefire is slim, and that the Cabinet is not likely to agree to the Egyptian proposal.

The right wing Likud government does not want peace or a ceasefire...what more proof do you need?
Only the eyes of the world watching and voices screaming will prevent another slaughter....they wait for the "quiet" to end.

US reportedly agrees to serve as guarantor that Israel will uphold what has been agreed to thus far in Egypt.
As Israeli and Palestinian delegations were set to restart indirect talks in Cairo on Sunday, Communications Minister Gilad Erdan said no deal with Hamas on the conflict in Gaza would be better than a deal that compromised Israeli security.
Erdan, a member of the eight-person security cabinet, told Israel Radio that Israel still has not reached a decision on an Egyptian proposal to end the conflict, adding that the initiative held several problematic clauses for the government in Jerusalem.
