Hamas leaders to meet in Gaza amid Israel truce reports

The leadership of Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas is to convene late Friday for a rare meeting, officials said, amid speculation of a long-term truce between the Gaza Strip's rulers and Israel. The meeting comes as a Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces in clashes along the border between Gaza and Israel. Members "will discuss a number of important issues including proposals from Egypt and UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov concerning a truce and the lifting of the Israeli blockade imposed on Gaza," the source said.
