Israeli officials believe Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, has changed its policies regarding the festivities and is working towards curbing violence at the rallies which have become a near-daily occurrence, Hadashot TV news reported Friday.
Jerusalem believes the terror group is moderating the demonstrations in order to allow Egyptian mediators a chance to strike a deal between Hamas and Israel for a long-term truce in Gazoo, the report said.
Meanwhile Haaretz reported that Israeli defense officials wish to respond to the more limited rallies in Gazoo on Friday by renewing fuel supplies to the Strip. The officials have said in closed deliberations that Hamas’s efforts to limit the violence should be taken advantage of to create positive momentum towards a calm.
Last Friday, Israel halted the transfer of fuel to Gazoo in response to heavy rioting and attacks at the border fence. According to the newspaper, security officials hope to renew supplies to Gazoo as early as Sunday, to send a positive message to Hamas.
