A committee investigating the relocation of some 2000 Bedouin families from a cordoned off region between the Gaza Strip and Sinai was reportedly told by the Bedouin sheikhs that certain Israeli Army officers had advised them to protest the move to the International Red Cross.

Meanwhile, rival kibbutz movements planned rallies for and against the government action.
