Israeli PM Accepts Cease - Fire Deal

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has accepted an emerging Mideast cease-fire deal and informed the United States of his decision, Israeli officials said Friday.

Olmert will recommend that his government approve the deal in its upcoming meeting on Sunday, said Gideon Meir, a senior official in the Israeli Foreign Ministry.

Meir said the military offensive would continue for the time being. It was not immediately clear if it would be halted after the U.N. Security Council vote on the cease-fire deal in coming hours, or only after the Israeli Cabinet has endorsed it.
