Foreign media say a new round of ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip will be held soon. Israeli media reported that there are still differences between the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel.

Hamas has given up on some previous demands and there is room for an agreement between the two sides. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said on the 25th, "We are working hard to reach an agreement, but it is too early to say whether we will reach an Agreement" Israel will also continue to attack Lebanese Hezbollah until the organization completely withdraws from the Lebanese-Israeli border area.
