Israel to cut off Cairo truce talks under fire - Netanyahu
By

CAIRO, Aug 10 (Aswat Masriya) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that his country would not return to Egyptian-mediated truce talks with Palestine if militants from Gaza continued to fire rockets, Reuters reported. 

"Israel will not negotiate under fire," Netanyahu said at the weekly meeting of his cabinet in Tel Aviv.

Mousa Abu Marzouk, head of the Palestinian delegation in Cairo, has said that it would pull out on Sunday unless Israeli negotiator resumed the talks.
