Palestinian Prime Minister Mr Ahmed Korei left for Cairo this evening after saying Egyptian-brokered talks between militant factions on reaching a ceasefire with Israel were going well, officials said.
A close aide to Mr Korei said he would arrive tomorrow in the Egyptian capital where militant leaders today sat down to consider a mutual truce with Israel to help revive peace negotiations after three years of fighting.
"I think discussions between all the Palestinian groups in Cairo are going well ... I am optimistic, " Mr Korei told reporters at his West Bank home earlier in the day.
