Similar Stories to Egypt Calls For Israeli, Palestinian Peace Talks on Bing News

CAIRO (AP) — The U.S. and Egypt sought Tuesday to find an end to two weeks of bloodshed in the Gaza Strip, and officials raised the possibility of restarting stalled peace talks between Israel and Palestinian authorities as a necessary step to avoid sustained violence. Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri said Tuesday's talks were focused "to not only resolve this issue, but also to set in motion once again the peace process that Secretary Kerry has been so actively involved in so as to end this ongoing conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis." Israeli aircraft have hit more than 70 targets in the Gaza Strip in the last day, including the home of the late leader of Hamas' military wing, five mosques and a football stadium, according to a Gaza police official. [...] Hamas' relationship with Egypt, which is negotiating directly with the militant group, has deteriorated since President Mohammed Morsi was ousted in last year's coup. Senior State Department officials said the issue of opening border crossings from Gaza — potentially into Israel and Egypt — was under discussion. Israel has said it wants to shut down a network of tunnels that Hamas has dug from Gaza and into Israeli territory to kidnap and attack Israelis, but President Barack Obama on Monday said the infrastructure has already felt "significant damage" from Israel's military assault.
