Israel agrees to dispatch negotiators to talks on ceasefire plan

ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to dispatch negotiators to resume Gaza ceasefire talks, an official said today.
The decision comes a day after Hamas submitted a new response to a United States-backed proposal for a phased ceasefire.
The Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, says Mr Netanyahu has decided to authorise a team to continue talks. There was no word on when or where the talks would talk place.
