A Palestinian Arab official told Kan News on Thursday that Egypt had asked Hamas to rein in the demonstrations on the Gaza border fence.
According to the source, Hamas told Egypt that it was willing to reduce the demonstrations gradually and subject to progress in the easing of restrictions on Gaza. It was also reported that the Egyptian delegation had made it clear to Hamas that it would not be able to stop Israel from attacking Gaza if the demonstrations scheduled to take place along the fence on Friday are violent.
