Good Luck.
The state Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas started a 72-hour ceasefire Friday morning. The halt hostilities was engineered America's Secretary State John Kerry and the U.N. Secretary-General Ban-ki Moon. The humanitarian truce will give Palestinians time to restock basic supplies such as food and medicines. They also need to repair power stations which have been put of action during the fighting the past three weeks. Israelis and Palestinians are also to meet Cairo, Egypt to talk about the possibility of a permanent truce between the two sides. They will talk about resolving the underlying differences that have caused unrest decades.

Hamas said it would abide the pause in fighting. Its spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said: "Acknowledging a call the United Nations and consideration of the situation of our people, resistance factions agreed a 72-hour humanitarian and mutual calm…as long as the other side abides it." He added: "All the Palestinian factions are united the issue." The day before the ceasefire was announced, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country would continue to destroy the tunnels that have been dug the Gaza-Israel border. John Kerry called the ceasefire "precious time." He said: "It is a moment the different factions to be able to come together the state Israel."
