Official: Restrained Israeli policy, Egyptian mediation led to quieter Land Day protest

An Israeli diplomatic official tells reporters that “thanks to the Israeli policy that included strong air force attacks, severe warnings to Hamas and the massive deployment of the IDF (along the Gaza border) at Prime Minister Netanyahu’s instructions, the events at the fence were relatively quiet.”

The official also says that Israel is “satisfied” with the Egyptian mediation efforts that contributed to the relatively calm Land Day protests in Gaza.
