Egypt Tries To Revive Cease-fire Talks
MICHAELA PEREIRA, CNN ANCHOR: President Obama will be in Charlotte, North Carolina, today to address the American Legion's national convention. The president is expected to comment on the sacrifices made by veterans. Tomorrow the Veterans Affairs Department is expected to release an internal investigation into patient care delays. Early reports indicate it will say there's no proof that any veterans died as a result of the long waits for care at the Phoenix V.A. hospital. As you'll recall, CNN first reported the problems in medical care at the V.A. hospital in Phoenix Former FBI Director Louie Freeh is in a New Hampshire hospital after he was seriously injured in a car accident. A police official tells CNN that Freeh underwent surgery for unspecified injuries. State police say his SUV went off the road and struck a mailbox before it landed in some bushes. Freeh was director of the FBI from September 1993 to June 2001.</s>ALIYSN CAMEROTA, CNN GUEST ANCHOR: All right. We'll keep an eye on that. Michaela, thanks so much. Meanwhile, Israeli air strikes showing no signs of letting up in Gaza. The latest Palestinian officials say killed nine and dozens more were wounded. This was in a blast that nearly leveled one of Gaza's tallest buildings. This as dozens of rockets were launched at Israel overnight, and there are reports that a new cease-fire deal could be close. CNN's Ben Wedeman is live in Jerusalem with the latest. Hi, Ben.</s>BEN WEDEMAN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Alisyn. Yes, it could be close, but we've seen cease-fires come and go so far, and nobody is overly optimistic at this point. Apparently, the Egyptians are continuing to push their initiative. We've heard from Mousa Abu Marzuk who is a senior Hamas leader that the Egyptian initiative is acceptable to them, but at moment there are no Israeli negotiators in Cairo so it's difficult to see how it's going to move ahead until they get there. Now, regarding the situation in Gaza, you saw these two high rise buildings by Gaza standards, one of them 14 floors, almost completely leveled. This appears to be part of what is the Israeli version of shock and awe in Gaza. Instead of what we saw earlier in the conflict, individual homes or offices are being hit by missiles, now they are just taking down entire buildings where according in one instance the Israelis say there was a Hamas command and control complex. But our crew in Gaza said that in one of those high rises that was brought down, there are also offices, stores and residences as well that were destroyed overnight -- Alisyn.</s>CAMEROTA: Ben Wedeman, thank you for that update from the location.
