The threat for flash flooding will be greatest from central Pennsylvania through central New England. A few showers will dampen the ground across the central Great Lakes. It will remain dry and comfortable across the northern Plains. Less humid air will move into the southern Plains, though it will remain seasonably warm across that region. Afternoon and evening thunderstorms will dot the West.

The two sides were hud- dled in an Egyptian gov- ernment building for what were expected to be mar- athon negotiations in the coming days. The 72-hour truce, bro- kered by Israel, took ef- fect just after midnight, in the second attempt to halt a month of heavy fighting between the sides. A similar three-day truce collapsed on Friday when militants resumed rocket fire on Israel after the sides were unable to make any headway in Egyptian-bro- kered negotiations for a more lasting deal. Hamas is seeking an end to an Israeli- Egyptian border blockade, while Israel wants Hamas to disarm. The monthlong war, pitting the Israeli mili- tary against rocket-firing Hamas militants, has killed more than 1,900 Palestin- ians, the majority civilians, Palestinian and U.N. offi- cials say. In Israel, 67 peo- ple have been killed, all but three of them soldiers, offi- cials there say. The halt in violence al- lowed Palestinians in war- battered Gaza to leave homes and shelters. On Monday morning, high school students in Gaza filled the streets as they headed to pick up their graduation certificates af- ter the Education Ministry said they'd be ready. People waited to buy fuel for gen- erators as power and com- munication workers strug- gled to fix cables damaged in the fighting. Long lines formed at ATMs. Last week's talks failed in part because Israel rejected Hamas' demand for a com- plete end to the blockade of the Gaza Strip, enforced by Egypt and Israel. Israel says the closure is necessary to prevent arms smuggling, and officials do not want to make any concessions that would allow Hamas to de- clare victory. The blockade has greatly limited the movement of Palestinians in and out of the impoverished territory of 1.8 million people for jobs and schooling. It has also limited the flow of goods into Gaza and blocked virtually all exports. Unemployment there is more than 50 per- cent. Hamas officials have since signaled that they will have more modest goals in the current round of talks. Bassam Salhi, a Palestin- ian delegation member, said he was optimistic ahead of Monday's talks. "We hope to reach a deal within the 72 hours, based on ending the blockade and opening the crossings," Salhi said. Israel's finance minister, Yair Lapid, called on the international community to offer a massive aid pack- age for Gaza conditioned on the Western-backed Pales- tinian Authority returning to power in Gaza. Hamas, which is shunned as a terrorist group by the West, ousted the forces of Palestinian President Mah- moud Abbas in 2007. MIDDLE EAST Gazacease-firetakesholdasnegotiatorsgather By Yuras Karmanau The Associated Press DONETSK,UKRAINE Ukrai- nian forces on Monday ze- roed in on rebel strong- holds as the government welcomed an international humanitarian relief mission into the rebellious east in- volving Russia, the United States and the European Union. The mission will be con- ducted under the auspices of the International Com- mittee of the Red Cross. The organization said in a state- ment it is ready to facilitate the operation with the in- volvement of all sides con- cerned following a Russian initiative to provide human- itarian assistance to people in eastern Ukraine. It wasn't clear when the deliveries would start. "The practical details of this operation need to be clarified before this initia- tive can move forward," said Laurent Corbaz, the ICRC's head of operations for Eu- rope and Central Asia. Moscow had long urged Kiev to allow the aid de- livery, but Ukraine and the West previously had opposed the move, fear- ing that it could serve as a pretext for sending Rus- sian troops into rebel-held territory. Ukraine and the West have accused Moscow of arming and supporting the rebels fighting govern- ment troops in the east, a charge that the Kremlin has denied. The Red Cross said it has shared a document with Ukrainian and Russian au- thorities that stipulates all parties must guarantee the security of its staff during the operation and respect the organization's neutral- ity. The aid mission was an- nounced after a conversa- tion between U.S. President Barack Obama and Ukrai- nian President Petro Poro- shenko Monday. The White House said that Obama and Poro- shenko agreed that "any Russian intervention in Ukraine without the formal, express consent and autho- rization of the Ukraine gov- ernment would be unac- ceptable and a violation of international law." Shortly before that, Rus- sia had declared that it was dispatching a humanitar- ian convoy into Ukraine in cooperation with the Red Cross without giving any details. President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, later was quoted by Russian news wires as saying that the convoy wouldn't involve and mili- tary personnel. Officials in Kiev took pains to specify Monday that the Ukrainian govern- ment was behind the hu- manitarian convoy initia- tive, and that Moscow was only one of several coun- tries involved. "Apart from deliveries provided by Ukraine, the mission will feature an in- ternational component, in- cluding aid provided to the International Committee of the Red Cross by the United States, the EU, as well as Russia," Ukraine's Foreign Ministry said. The ministry also laid out specific conditions for the aid shipment. EASTERN EUROPE Ukraine OKs Red Cross-led aid mission to east www.expresspros.com 530-527-0727 243 So.
