An Egyptian statement called for a “comprehensive and mutual” cease-fire between Islamic Jihad and Israel.

According to the text of the statement, a copy of which was obtained by the BBC, Cairo calls for a ceasefire as of 11:30 pm local time (8:30 pm GMT).

Egypt affirmed, according to the statement, its commitment to work for the release of the detainee Khalil Awawda and his transfer to treatment, as well as to work for the release of the leader of the Islamic Jihad Movement Bassam al-Saadi “as soon as possible.”

The escalation continued between Israel and gunmen in the Gaza Strip this evening.
