Egyptian sources told Qatar-affiliated al-Arabi al-Jadid newspaper this morning that senior Israeli government officials had informed Cairo of their willingness to implement some of the demands that could keep calm.
Sources said that "the latest Israeli position came in order to preserve the role of the Egyptian mediator in the Gaza Strip and its ties with various Palestinian factions, in light of attempts to thwart Cairo in favor of other Arab states, including Algeria, which expressed willingness to host dialogue between Palestinian factions. Which fills Cairo and Israel wants you to protect it. "
The sources explained that "Israel will meet some of the Palestinian demands in order to support the position of the Egyptian mediator and to maintain his connection with the factions, who expressed resentment over the non-implementation of the demands placed on him."
"Senior Israeli government officials have informed Cairo of their willingness to increase the number of work permits for Gazans by 5,000, with the possibility of increasing the number later while monitoring the situation in the near future."
Recall that today the number of licenses stands at 10,000.
According to the sources, senior Israeli government officials have informed senior Egyptian intelligence officials of their readiness to hold a coordination meeting regarding the start of the construction phase in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
This, after the completion of the demolition phase.
Egypt recently launched the second phase, which will include, among other things, the construction of three residential cities in the Gaza Strip and the renovation of key intersections.
It was also reported that at this meeting it is expected to discuss the entry of construction materials needed for the second phase of the reconstruction of the Strip and the monitoring mechanisms of Egypt so that construction materials are not leaked in favor of Hamas.
On Saturday, it was reported that Egypt had returned to the activities of a shuttle company that would facilitate the movement of Gazans at the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula.
At the same time, yesterday, the Qatari envoy, Muhammad al-Amadi, announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding for the installation of a $ 60 million gas pipeline to the Gaza Strip from Doha.
Work on the pipeline is expected to take about two years.
Al-Arabi al-Jadid reported that a delegation of doctors from Egypt arrived in Gaza last Thursday.
Sources claimed that Egypt had doubled its efforts to persuade Israel to decide on further easing that would neutralize security tensions in the Gaza Strip.
This is for fear that external parties will intervene in the current crisis and fuel it to serve regional agendas.
It was also said that the Egyptian delegation that visited the Gaza Strip submitted a report with indications that the situation would explode at any moment unless it was dealt with quickly by the intervention of the upper echelon to persuade the Israeli side to promote relief, if it wanted to maintain the status quo.
In Gaza, the proposals are rejected
On the other hand, sources in the terrorist organizations in Gaza told the Palestinian newspaper Al-Ayyam this morning that the organizations informed the relevant mediators, led by the Egyptian mediator, that they rejected any Israeli solution or proposal expressed in a "formal" easing of restrictions on the Gaza Strip.
Islamic Jihad spokesman Tariq Izz a-Din told the newspaper in the same report that "Israeli talk of the facilitation as claimed will never be an alternative to lifting the siege and will not be able to absorb the rage of the resistance. "Crumbs of ineffective relief. The occupation's attempt to replace the lifting of the siege by promoting partial relief will not succeed in convincing the factions this time."
Meanwhile, terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, led by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, began a military maneuver lasting several days yesterday, amid threats of escalation against Israel.
A statement from the "Joint Squadron of the Resistance" stated that they would begin joint training called "a-Rachen a-Shadid 2" at the sites and training areas of the terrorist organizations in Gaza.
