After Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday night called together senior security sources to discuss a long-term ceasefire with Hamas and other Gazan terrorists as proposed by Egypt, Palestinian Authority (PA) sources on Tuesday afternoon claim Israel has agreed to the truce.

A senior PA official told AFP that a "permanent" ceasefire for Gaza has been reached with Israel.

"The contacts that have been going on have agreed a permanent ceasefire, a (deal to) end the blockade and a guarantee that Gaza's demands and needs will be met," elaborated the official on condition of anonymity.

There was no immediate comment from Israeli sources.

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Egypt are poised to announce the ceasefire in Gaza and the implementation of Abbas's "national initiative" on Tuesday, according to senior PA sources who spoke with Walla!.

The US has already voiced its opposition to Abbas's "plan," which essentially consists of asking the United Nations to set a deadline for Israel to withdraw behind the 1949 Armistice lines, and make way for the establishment of "Palestine."

Apparently Abbas intends to present his plan in Ramallah on Tuesday night.

As for the Egyptian ceasefire initiative, it reportedly will follow in the footsteps of the ceasefire reached after the 2012 Operation Pillar of Defense.
