Even as an Egyptian ambassador met with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to discuss the Strip's rebuilding and the potential of a long-term peace, Palestinian militant organizations in Gaza have chosen to continue protests near the Israeli border fence.

According to the sources, Palestinian parties such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad agreed to postpone the first protest until Saturday to show Israel and Egypt that they are willing to give the discussions a chance.

According to Abu Mujahid, a spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees, one of the organizations that attended Wednesday's summit, the decision to resume the demonstrations was made in light of information indicating that "Israel is evading all understandings regarding the reconstruction of the Strip and the easing of the blockade" on Gaza. A march along the barrier and the launch of incendiary balloons into Israel are planned to be part of Saturday's demonstration.
