The Israeli government authorized even more troops and weaponry to be deployed to the Gaza-Israel border on Wednesday evening, as Palestinians in Gaza prepare for the one-year anniversary of the weekly protest movement known as the ‘Great March of Return’ on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Egyptian officials crossed the Erez border crossing from Israel into Gaza to work on negotiating a truce. Palestinian officials from every major faction have repeatedly stated their desire for a truce, but the Israeli government has not responded to the overtures for peace. Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyya, whose office was bombed into rubble on Monday night by Israeli bombs dropped by F16 fighter jets, made |
his first public appearance since the attack, on Wednesday evening. He said that the Palestinian resistance had made clear their intentions for peace, and that “The Occupying Power [Israel] has heard the message.” Now, he said, it is up to Israel to decide if they will go the way of war or peace.
The Egyptian officials are scheduled to be in Gaza overnight until Thursday. Israeli bombings, drone strikes, sound bombs and other weapons continue to be dropped on the Gaza Strip by the Israeli airforce.
The negotiators are from the Egyptian General Intelligence Service. They are said to have met with Israeli officials on Monday night, and had claimed at that time that a ceasefire was imminent – but Israeli bombardment continued without abatement through Tuesday and continuing into Wednesday.
On Friday, the weekly non-violent protest at the border between Gaza and Israel is scheduled to take place, and then on Saturday, Palestinians across Gaza, the West Bank and around the world will commemorate Palestinian Land Day with massive protests against Israeli land confiscation, imprisonment of the Gaza Strip and illegal and wanton use of military force against civilian populations.
Palestinian Land Day marks the anniversary of a non-violent protest in 1976, following the Israeli government’s seizure of thousands of acres of Palestinian land to annex for the Jewish state.
At that time, protests against the land confiscation were also met by deadly force imposed by the Israeli police, who killed six unarmed Palestinian protesters.
Since the Great March of Return began on March 30th, 2019, over 240 Palestinians have been killed, and over 28,000 wounded by Israeli forces.

Official says IDF given 'the last word'; remarks come shortly after Netanyahu lands in Israel from Washington; urgent security meeting to be convened within next hour
A senior source in Jerusalem on Tuesday dismissed claims by Palestinian officials that a ceasefire has been reached between Israel and Hamas, warning that the Jewish state was planning further strikes on the terror group that rules the Gaza Strip.
"There is no agreement regarding a ceasefire, we are prepared to strike with even harder blows," the source said.
The remarks were made shortly after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu landed in Israel after cutting short his trip to Washington following a meeting with President Donald Trump. Netanyahu was to convene a security meeting at Defense Ministry HQ in Tel Aviv shorty after landing.
"The prime minister has been updated on the latest developments during the flight and was in constant contact with the IDF chief of staff." the source said. "The instruction was to continue the strikes, the last word has to remain with Israel. Hamas has made various proposals for a ceasefire through intermediaries, and even offered to stop the clashes on the Gaza border," the source added.
Meanwhile, Hamas said they are cancelling all demonstrations along the security fence in light of “the security situation.”
During the meeting with Trump on Monday, Netanyahu said Israel would "respond forcefully to this wanton aggression," adding that, "after this meeting, I will return home ahead of schedule to lead the people of Israel and the soldiers of Israel."
Gaza militants fired at least 100 rockets into southern Israel and Israeli aircraft carried out hundreds of strikes in the Hamas-ruled territory late Monday and early Tuesday, in the latest round of cross-border fighting between the two sides.
The latest round of violence began early Monday when seven Israelis, including an infant, were wounded when a house in a moshav northeast of Tel Aviv was directly hit by a long-range rocket fired from Gaza by what the IDF said were Hamas operatives.
The Israeli military said it was a self-manufactured rocket with a range of 120 kilometers (75 miles), making it one of the deepest strikes ever carried out by Hamas.
