Hamas sent a firm message to Egypt that "If Israel attacks our outposts in Gaza, we will immediately withdraw all our forces of restraint from the perimeter fence. If the Qatari money does not enter Gaza, there will be a deterioration," according to Kan.
A source in Hamas referred to the issue in a conversation with Kan and said: "Israel is avoiding the implementation of the second stage in the understandings of the truce, which is the reason for the escalation in recent weeks."
