Israeli media: Hamas demands the release of all leaders of the second intifada. Israeli officials believe that Hamas is seeking to escalate the situation inside Israel during the month of Ramadan.
The Israeli media also touched on the relations between Washington and Tel Aviv, describing them as having reached the stage of real anger. American officials said that Washington was preventing Europe - especially Britain - from imposing sanctions related to supplying weapons to Israel. These officials added that “If these sanctions are imposed, we will have no choice but to stand against them”
