Day 38 of Operation Protective Edge
PREAMBLE: As a 72-hour truce wound down late Wednesday, rocket fire on Israel resumed. Hamas denied that it was responsible. And Egypt and the Palestinians announced a new, five-day truce, during which negotiations on a long-term ceasefire would continue. Israel issued no official comment.
Said Avi Dichter, the former head of the Shin Bet: “What, are we suckers? We’re going now to bite our nails for another five days?”
Channel 2’s diplomatic reporter Udi Segal says “there is grumbling” among senior Israeli politicians about what’s going on.
