[ti:Kerry Presses on with Ceasefire, Death Toll Rises in Gaza] [ar:Christopher Cruise] [al:In the News] [00:00.00]From VOA Learning English, [00:02.71]this is In The News. [00:05.27]U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said [00:09.22]efforts are not ending to find a cease-fire [00:12.93]between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza. [00:17.03]America's top diplomat said "This is a broad effort. [00:22.03]At this moment we are working toward a brief, [00:25.98]seven-day cease-fire in honor of Eid." [00:30.38]The holiday of Eid [00:33.18]marks the end of the Muslim observance of Ramadan. [00:37.89]He stood next to Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri [00:42.74]as he spoke in Cairo. [00:44.90]Mr. Kerry said details of a framework, or guidelines, [00:50.40]toward a stop in the fighting are still under discussion. [00:55.45]He said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told him [00:59.94]he wants to find a way to make progress [01:03.85]although Israeli media said [01:06.79]Mr. Netanyahu's cabinet had rejected the framework. [01:11.50]Mr. Kerry said a break in fighting will give everyone involved [01:16.60]the chance to examine issues that have caused [01:20.19]weeks of deadly violence between Israelis and Palestinians. [01:25.75]Mr. Kerry, Mr. Shukri and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [01:32.41]have been trying to get both Israelis [01:35.62]and Palestinians to stop the violence. [01:39.12]More than 800 Palestinians have now died [01:44.12]in Israel's offensive against Hamas militants. [01:48.62]Reports say Thursday was the deadliest day [01:53.46]of the 18-day-long military campaign. [01:57.51]Among the victims were at least 15 Palestinians [02:01.61]in a school operated as a shelter by the United Nations. [02:07.38]Israel said one of its soldiers was killed in Gaza on Friday. [02:12.57]That brought the number of soldiers killed to at least 32. [02:18.17]So far, rocket and mortar attacks by Palestinians [02:23.07]have killed at least two Israeli civilians. [02:27.17]On Friday, rockets launched by Hamas [02:30.62]set off warning signals around Tel Aviv. [02:35.04]Several rockets were shot down. [02:38.08]But one hit a building in Ashkelon. [02:41.74]No one was hurt. [02:43.79]In the West Bank, many Palestinians marched [02:47.69]in the northern village of Hawara in support of Gaza. [02:52.28]Thousands also demonstrated over the night. [02:56.33]Many observers are calling that demonstration the biggest protest [03:02.52]in the West Bank in about 10 years. [03:05.99]Protesters in East Jerusalem threw rocks [03:10.34]and Molotov cocktails at an Israeli security point. [03:16.34]Palestinian health workers said one person was shot dead [03:20.94]and 200 others were wounded when Israeli troops returned fire. [03:27.84]The unrest continued into Friday [03:31.14]with reports of four more deaths near Nablus and Hebron. [03:37.12]At the Al-Aqsa mosque in the Old City of Jerusalem, [03:42.28]Israeli security forces barred men [03:45.93]under the age of 50 from entering the area. [03:49.88]The action led to more clashes between the opponents. [03:55.44]Police Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch told the Israeli Army radio [04:00.83]"We have had a very difficult night." [04:05.43]Earlier this week, Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal said [04:10.44]he supported a stop in fighting and set his own conditions. [04:15.83]Hamas demands that Israel eases restrictions [04:20.34]on the 1.8 million Palestinians in Gaza. [04:24.84]The group also calls for the release of hundreds of prisoners [04:31.34]seized in the West Bank last month. [04:34.58]And it wants Egypt to open its border with Gaza. [04:39.60]Both Israel and Egypt consider Hamas a security threat. [04:46.70]And that's In the News, from VOA Learning English. [04:52.60]I'm Christopher Cruise.
