JERUSALEM/GAZA (Reuters) - Israel and the Palestinians have given themselves five days to come up with a comprehensive agreement to end the war in Gaza. While that is a welcome extension on past ceasefires, there is still a dangerously long way to go to bridge their differences.
After agreeing to Egypt's proposal to extend the halt in hostilities until Aug. 18 - a deal clinched with barely an hour to run on the previous, 72-hour pause - Palestinian and Israeli negotiators left Cairo to consult with their leaders.
