Hamas leader: The problem with the truce negotiations is linked to Israel’s refusal to provide guarantees. Hossam Badran said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not want to reach any agreement.

Israeli delegation agreed to the return of two thousand displaced people daily, two weeks after the start of implementation of the first phase of the potential exchange deal. Israeli demonstrators accused Benjamin Netanyahu's government of underestimating the pain of the families of Israeli detainees in the Gaza Strip. Thousands of Israelis demonstrated in occupied Jerusalem to protest the city municipality's celebration of the Jewish holiday of Purim.
