Al Arabiya/AFP 25 Oct -- A ceasefire between Israel and armed Palestinian groups in Gaza, negotiated with the help of Egypt, came into force early on
Thursday, a Palestinian source told AFP. "The Egyptians negotiated a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian armed groups," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity, without giving further details ... The
negotiated ceasefire came into effect after President Mursi said during his first Eid al-Adha speech on Wednesday that "without declaring war against anyone," Egypt would do its best to support Palestinians in their struggle against Israeli occupation. "We will never accept any assault or siege on the Palestinian people. Egypt provides Palestine with all its needs such as food and clothing," the Cairo-based Ahram Online quoted Mursi as saying.

Judaization of Jerusalem's streets

The Zionist municipality controlling Jerusalem decided to start changing the names of the streets in the occupied holy city to Hebrew names, to tighten the occupation’s grip on the city.
The financial committee at the municipality said that it has allocated about $255,000 as a starting budget for the project of Judaizing the names of the streets in east Jerusalem with a clear message to the Palestinian side that Jerusalem is part of the Zionist entity.

The project of changing the names of streets and numbering houses, which was initiated by the occupation's mayor of Jerusalem, the extremist right winger, Nir Barakat, is going to include all streets and alleyways and houses, even those which were built without a permit.

The project is to be carried out with the assistance of aerial pictures and maps and is planned to be completed by the end of this year.
