U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced today in Cairo for a truce in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has lasted eight days in the Middle East.

Near the end of the eighth day of intense Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and rocket fire from the Palestinian enclave which have caused dozens of victims from last week, the announcement of the ceasefire comes to relieve the civilian population region.

Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi has met with Clinton for more than two hours. The truce, which was announced at the headquarters of the Egyptian presidency, took effect at 9 pm (4 pm Argentina) today, and includes the opening of Gaza’s border crossings with Israel and an end to the Israeli attacks on Gaza as television Islamist movement, “Al Aqsa”.

The cease-fire means the “end all hostile and aggressive actions in Gaza by land, air and sea, and targeted killings or assassinations,” the station said.
