*Associated Press/AP Online
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Palestinians and Israelis moved
closer to halting more than four years of bloody violence on Sunday,
with the new Palestinian leader saying he had made progress toward a
truce deal with militants. Israel pledged for the first time to hold
fire if calm prevails.
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas extended his stay in Gaza
until Monday, trying to win a declaration from armed groups that
they will halt attacks against Israelis. Abbas has been meeting
representatives of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Al Aqsa Martyrs'
Brigades, a group with ties to his Fatah movement.
Israeli leaders said Sunday they would suspend their
military operations if the Palestinians maintain calm, taking a
major step in the direction of a cease-fire.
As in the past, the Palestinians were negotiating among
themselves about conditions for halting violence without directly
involving Israel - but making parallel demands on the Israelis.
A truce was not formally in place, but little violence was
reported Sunday, as about 3,000 Palestinian police patrolled Gaza
areas near the Israeli border for a third day to prevent militants
from firing rockets.
Though there have been other brief periods of quiet during
four years of violence, optimism was heightened this time. Abbas,
who succeeded Yasser Arafat after winning a Jan. 9 election, was
working around the clock to stop violence, backing up his earlier
statements that violent Palestinian resistance had been a mistake.
And on the Israeli side, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was
responding positively to Palestinian moves for the first time,
reflecting some confidence in Abbas, in stark contrast to Israel's
attitude toward Arafat.
Abbas remained in Gaza on Sunday, canceling plans to return
to his West Bank headquarters in Ramallah. He told Palestinian TV
that a truce accord was near.
"Everybody feels the responsibility and the importance
of putting an end to the situation that we are all living in right
now," Abbas said. "We can say that there has been
significant progress in the talks. Our differences have diminished,
and therefore we are bound to reach an agreement very soon."
Local officials of Islamic groups said an agreement has not
yet been reached.
Sharon convened his weekly Sunday Cabinet meeting in Sderot,
a town outside Gaza that has been repeatedly targeted by Palestinian
rocket fire.
Sharon praised the recent calm as a "positive"
development but warned of a tough response if attacks resume.
"I hope that perhaps the quiet will continue and if not, then
the army and security forces will continue to do whatever is
necessary in order to remove the threat," Sharon said.
Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said that Israel wants to give
the recently elected Abbas - also known as Abu Mazen - a chance to
complete his cease-fire deal.
"As long as there is quiet, there is no reason why we
should act, certainly not while Abu Mazen is taking his first
steps," Mofaz told Israel Radio. In the past, Israel refused to
promise the militants amnesty.
Mofaz, an ex-military chief and career officer, was
uncharacteristically optimistic. "The year 2005 may be a
turning point in which there will no longer be any soldiers in Gaza
nor in the cities of Judea and Samaria," he said, using the
biblical name for the West Bank. Israel plans to pull out of Gaza in
the summer.
Participants in the cease-fire talks have said a document
being considered calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state
in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, the areas Israel
captured in the 1967 Mideast war.
Hamas in the past has called for Israel's destruction, and
acceptance of the document would mean a significant change of
position for the Islamic militants.
Hassan Yousef, the Hamas leader in the West Bank, said his
group wanted assurances from Abbas that he will bring Hamas members
into Palestinian Authority positions, including the security forces.
The militants also want assurances that Israel will release
Palestinian prisoners.
"The top priority for a cease-fire is the release of
prisoners and to maintain the right to defend our people in the
event of an attack," Hamas said in a statement released Sunday.
There are about 7,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
Israeli has periodically freed small numbers of prisoners in
goodwill gestures, but Palestinians have criticized the releases as
inadequate.

23-JAN-2005: In this photo released by the Palestinian Authority,
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu
Mazen, is seen during a meeting in Gaza City, in this photo taken
Saturday Jan. 22, 2005. Abbas is trying to reach a cease fire
agreement with Palestinian militants that could halt attacks on
Israelis, and the Israeli military is willing to suspend operations
against Palestinian militants if they don't carry out attacks,
Israel's defense minister said Sunday. (AP Photo/Palestinian
