Izraelský premiér Benjamin Netanjahu obvinil Hamás z porušování klidu zbraní. Uvedl to v reakci na výbuch poblíž Rafáhu v Pásmu Gazy, při kterém jeden izraelský voják utrpěl zranění. Teroristé podle Netanjahua navíc příměří porušují i tím, že otevřeně odmítají odevzdat zbraně. Předseda izraelské vlády zopakoval i další požadavky, kterým Hamás nedostál - třeba předání moci v enklávě.
