Egypt's Major General Burhan Hammad (L), Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh (2nd L), Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar (2nd R) and Rawhi Fattouh, special representative of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, attend a news conference in Gaza early January 30, 2007. Rival Palestinian factions struck a deal for a ceasefire in Gaza from 3 a.m. (0100 GMT) on Tuesday, aiming to end to the fiercest internal fighting since the Islamist Hamas movement's election victory a year ago.
