The Islamic organizations in the Gaza Strip threaten to escalate violence along the border fence with Israel and to use “harsh measures,” meaning, weapons such as explosive devices and infiltration attempts to Israeli territory.
The Gaza Islamic organizations informed the Egyptian mediator their patience had been exhausted by Israel’s “procrastination” in implementing understandings between the parties to the truce, and of their decision to escalate violence along the border fence.
According to the report, Egypt asked the Gaza organizations to maintain calm until General Intelligence officers arrived in Gaza to continue the talks, and at the same time pledged to pressure Israel to comply with Gaza demands in coming days.

President Donald Trump may not alert the FBI if foreign governments offered damaging information against his 2020 rivals during the upcoming presidential race, he said, despite the deluge of investigations stemming from his campaign’s interactions with Russians during the 2016 campaign.
Asked by ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in the Oval Office on Wednesday whether his campaign would accept such information from foreigners — such as China or Russia — or hand it over the FBI, Trump said, “I think maybe you do both.”
“I think you might want to listen, there isn’t anything wrong with listening,” Trump continued. “If somebody called from a country, Norway, [and said] ‘we have information on your opponent’ — oh, I think I’d want to hear it.”

Mayor Bill de Blasio says he made the cut for the first Democratic presidential candidates’ debate later this month.
The long-shot 2020 contender said Wednesday that he received a text from DNC Chair Tom Perez confirming his participation.

Israel launched a retaliatory strike against “underground terror infrastructure” in a Hamas compound in Gaza early Thursday morning, after a rocket from Gaza was intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome aerial defense system just after midnight on Wednesday.
Residents of Nirim in the Eshkol region east of Gaza were sent running for cover when the incoming rocket activated warning sirens, and reported hearing explosions. No Israelis were wounded.

Former U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said on Wednesday that U.S. President Donald Trump does not want war with Iran.
“The president hasn’t shown a lot of inclination to put himself on a very risky course with respect to Iran,” he said in response to a question from JNS on Trump’s Iran policy during a question-and-answer following a discussion at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., about his new book Inside the Five-Sided Box: Lessons From a Lifetime of Leadership in the Pentagon.
However, Carter warned, “I do worry about us getting into a tangle because we’re so wound up.”
