Athens on Tuesday hailed a ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority regarding the Gaza Strip.

"This is a hopeful step towards exiting a cycle of violence and for the creation of the necessary conditions to resume dialogue," foreign ministry spokesman George Koumoutsakos said, adding that the fact the agreement was decided in direct communication between Israeli PM Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is also encouraging.
