Israel accepts Egypt proposal to end Gaza air strikes
Israel's security cabinet has accepted a ceasefire for the Gaza Strip which has been put forward by Egypt.
Hamas, which controls Gaza, has not formally responded. But its armed wing has rejected the plan as a "surrender".
The proposal urges a ceasefire starting imminently, followed by a series of meetings in Cairo with high-level delegations from both sides.
James Reynolds reports from Tel Aviv and Yolande Knell reports from Gaza.
