My Way News - Europe eyes troops, solutions for Gaza border
AP reports: "French troops, Turkish monitors, British ships, German tunnel detectors, European radar equipment - officials say all these options are being weighed as they try to cement the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. [...] France is pressing other European allies and Egypt to consider an armed border force, possibly under European Union or United Nations auspices, said a French official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions."

Comment: International troops to Israel? Let's keep an eye on this one. If this becomes a trend rather than a one-time thing it could suggest an international presence to monitor and enforce any future Mideast peace agreement.
