Egyptian Prime Minister Calls for End to Israeli 'Aggression' 16/11/2012

Speaking in Gaza Friday after a brief cease-fire that Israel put in place during his visit to the area collapsed, Egypt's prime minister Hesham Kandil has vowed to intensify his country's efforts to stop what he called Israeli "aggression" in Gaza and achieve a truce between Israelis and Palestinians.

Israel's military said it had not attacked Gaza during a two hour period, but Hamas said Israel had launched a bomb attack on northern Gaza Friday that killed two Palestinians. Attacks on both sides this week have killed 20 Palestinians and three Israelis.

Israel had said earlier it would suspend its military offensive against the Gaza Strip while Egypt's Prime Minister Kandil was there as long as Hamas militants also held their fire. The Egyptian prime minister arrived in Gaza early Friday and was expected to visit for about three hours.
