The Israeli state-run Kan TV reported that an Israeli official described it as al-Kabeer, that the Egyptian delegation's truce talks between Tel Aviv and the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" had reached a dead end.
This came after the occupation launched raids in recent weeks on sites inside the Gaza Strip and tightened the siege on it, in response to the launching of incendiary and explosive balloons from the Strip towards Israel.
The Israeli official, who was not identified, warned that if we do not reach a solution to what is happening in Gaza, "we may be on the way to another round of fighting."
The same spokesman added that the dispute between Israel and Hamas had led the Egyptian mediators to feel hopeless.
Yesterday, Israeli planes and tanks bombed Hamas installations, while the resistance factions fired six missiles at southern Israel in response to the Israeli bombing.
An Egyptian delegation
, on August 16 and 17, an official Egyptian delegation visited the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to discuss the escalation and tension that prevails in the sector.
The United Nations envoy to the Middle East, Nikolai Mladenov, said in a tweet yesterday, on Twitter, "Armed men continue to fire projectiles and incendiary materials. (But) the tightening of the siege makes life inside the Strip unbearable."
"Under these current circumstances, mediation efforts to prevent escalation and improve conditions cannot succeed," Mladenov said.
Breaking the siege is part of the liberation project, so there is no steadfastness without components, and no liberation without preparation and preparation, so combining the components of steadfastness and continuing to break the siege cycles prepares for liberation and maintains the pace of attrition # Resistance_continuous_ in various forms

In a related context, the private Israeli Channel 13 revealed today that Israel has offered Hamas - through a number of mediators - to provide assistance to Gaza in combating the Corona virus pandemic, in exchange for stopping the launching of incendiary balloons and kites loaded with incendiary or explosive materials and launching missiles.
The Israeli channel indicated that Tel Aviv believes that if it helped Hamas deal with the Corona epidemic, this would contribute to restoring conditions to calm on the borders.
For about three weeks, Gaza has been in a state of security and field tension, following the continued launch of balloons carrying flammable materials from the Strip, which caused fires in surrounding Israeli towns.
Israeli media said that 24 fires broke out on Friday in separate areas in southern Israel, as a result of the incendiary balloons.
Punitive measures
In response to the launching of balloons, the occupation army launches raids against sites of Hamas and the resistance factions in Gaza, and the occupation imposed punitive measures a few days ago, including closing the only commercial crossing to the Strip, stopping the supply of fuel to it, and closing the sea to Palestinian fishermen.
It is noteworthy that the occupation has imposed a land, sea and air blockade on the Gaza Strip since 2007 in an attempt to confront Hamas, and the siege has led to a deterioration in the living conditions of the residents of the Strip as well as various demonstrations of life, as the Strip turned into the largest open prison in the world.
