Night time demonstration outside the BBC in protest of the bombing of Palestine. We live in hope that the fighting will stop and a peace deal will be worked out. This from the BBC: Israel has agreed "on the principles" of a Franco-Egyptian truce proposal, raising hopes of an end to its conflict with Palestinian militants in Gaza. "The challenge now is to get the details to match the principles," Israeli spokesman Mark Regev said while Hamas detected "positive signs". Israel has resumed its bombardment of Gaza in a 12-day offensive which is said to have claimed nearly 700 lives. The UN Security Council seems deadlocked over the crisis. Arab countries want the Council to vote on a resolution calling for a ceasefire while Britain, France and the US are pushing for a weaker statement welcoming the Franco-Egyptian initiative. The US could well veto any vote as it is a permanent member of the Security Council, the BBC's Laura Trevelyan reports. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the US supported the Franco-Egyptian initiative and that she had spoken to Arab ministers and the Israelis about moving forward on it. She added that the US did not want a ceasefire that would return Israel and the Palestinians to the "status quo" preceding the conflict. Palestinian health officials say at least 683 Palestinians have been killed and more than 3,085 injured since Israel began its offensive 12 days ago, according to the UN's humanitarian agency. Smuggling Israel and Hamas have been under pressure to accept a diplomatic solution to the conflict, which began on 27 December. Israel wants to stop rocket attacks on southern Israel and to stop Hamas smuggling weapons into Gaza via Egypt, while Hamas says any ceasefire deal must include an end to Israel's blockade of Gaza. GAZA CRISIS BACKGROUND Smoke rises over Gaza (06/01/2009) Profile: Gaza Strip Who are Hamas? In pictures: Tunnel smugglers Middle East conflict: History in maps Israel said it was not sure how long the diplomatic process would take and that a working arms embargo on Hamas was needed. BBC world affairs correspondent Paul Reynolds says Israel has always said that it will accept an outcome under which rockets and smuggling are stopped - but there is a potentially long gap between accepting principles and applying practice. Security sources have confirmed senior Israeli defence official Amos Gilad will travel to Cairo on Thursday to discuss ceasefire options. Rice: The US supports the Franco-Egyptian initiative Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas is expected in Cairo a day later for talks. In a statement on Wednesday, France's President Nicolas Sarkozy welcomed "the acceptance by Israel and the Palestinian Authority" of the Franco-Egyptian ceasefire plan. The statement did not mention Hamas. Tony Blair, Middle East envoy for the Quartet of the UN, US, Russia and EU, told the BBC he was hopeful that the ceasefire proposal would succeed. The building blocks of a plan had been agreed but the details had still to be worked out, he said, which would take hard work over the coming days. The BBC's Jeremy Bowen on the Israel-Gaza boundary says the end may not be in sight yet, but there are now indications of what the two sides want from a ceasefire. A compromise on securing Egypt's border with Gaza, stopping the movement of weapons, and on opening border crossings between Israel and Gaza could give both Israel and Hamas something tangible, our correspondent says. But the problem from Israel's point of view is that Hamas would then be able to say that Palestinian resistance had forced Israel to lift the siege of Gaza, our correspondent adds, which is precisely what Israel - which seeks a severely weakened Hamas - does not want. Blockade The diplomatic developments came as Israel halted military operations in Gaza for three hours to create "humanitarian corridors" for supplies and fuel, the first of what an Israeli spokesman said would be a daily ceasefire. Map Smugglers' alley key to Gaza conflict Gaza offensive - in maps Points of view on Gaza In pictures: Gaza conflict continues News agencies reported that Gaza residents had rushed out into the streets during the lull to stock up on food and visit relatives in hospital. A Hamas spokesman said that the group would not launch any missiles at Israeli targets during the lull. The respite was brief, however. The Israeli army says it attacked dozens of targets throughout the day and that more than 20 rockets were fired into Israel from Gaza. Israel has been criticised by aid agencies who have warned of a mounting humanitarian crisis for the 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza, who are unable to escape from the conflict because of Israel's blockade.

Graham Hancock (born Aug 2, 1950) is a British writer and journalist. His books include Lords of Poverty, The Sign and the Seal, Fingerprints of the Gods, Keeper of Genesis (US name: The Message of the Sphinx), The Mars Mystery, HeavenâÂÂs Mirror (with wife Santha Faiia), Underworld: The Mysterious Origins of Civilization, and Talisman: Sacred Cities, Secret Faith (with co-author Robert Bauval). He also wrote and presented the Channel 4 documentaries Underworld: Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age and Quest for the Lost Civilisation. His most recent book, Supernatural: Meetings With the Ancient Teachers of Mankind, was released in the UK in October, 2005 and in the US in 2006. In it, Hancock examines paleolithic cave art in the light of David Lewis-Williamsâ neuropsychological model, exploring its relation to the development of the fully-modern human mind. HancockâÂÂs chief areas of interest are ancient mysteries, stone monuments or megaliths, ancient myths and astronomical/astrological data from the past. One of the main themes running through many of his books is the possible global connection with a âÂÂmother cultureâ from which he believes all ancient historical civilizations sprang. Although his books have sold more than five million copies worldwide and have been translated into twenty-seven languages, his methods and conclusions have found little support among academics. Often criticised for being a pseudoarchaeologist, Hancock, who freely admits he has no formal training in archaeology, sees himself as providing a counterbalance to what he perceives as the âÂÂunquestionedâ acceptance and support given to orthodox views by the education system, the media, and by society at large. Basing his argument on the 1958 book The EarthâÂÂs Shifting Crust by Prof. Charles Hapgood, Hancock argues that sections of the earthâÂÂs crust are capable of suddenly shifting their location relative to the underlying mantle. He points to evidence of temperate plants and animals that were apparently âÂÂflash-frozenâ in areas that are now frigid but were once much warmer. In approximately 11,600 BC, according to Hancock, a sudden cataclysm shifted Antarctica to the south by about 2000 miles. Hancock feels that prior to this event Antarctica may have supported a human civilization whose habitations, including cities, are now buried in Antarctic ice. Citing similarities in the lore of the worldâÂÂs ancient civilizations, Hancock argues that mariners representing this ancient civilization then travelled the world to found the worldâÂÂs ancient civilizations.
