Jerusalem - Israel confirmed Wednesday evening that it would send to Cairo the following day Amos Gilad, a senior defense official, to follow up on the negotiations for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. A spokeswoman for the Prime Minister's Office could not give details about what Israel would present in Cairo, saying Gilad would primarily listen, but the Jewish State has said it want a cessation of rocket fire from Gaza as well as a end to arms smuggling into the Strip. Gilad's trip had been originally scheduled for earlier in the week. The confirmation came shortly after a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. Earlier, Hamas official Salah al-Bardawil, held a brief press conference in Cairo and said the Islamist movement had presented its views on the ceasefire proposal to the Egyptian leadership.
