Thursday, December 18, 2008 at 19:24
According to Al Jazeera, a Hamas official has said --- one day before the truce between Hamas and Israel is to expire --- that "the calm is over".
Ayman Taba said after talks between Palestinian groups in Gaza that the cease-fire would not be renewed "because the enemy did not abide by its obligations" to ease the economic blockade and halt military operations.
The Israeli Government has not yet responded to the announcement.
