I appreciate your comments but humbly disagree perhaps because i have been THERE. Your opening paragraph is misleading. Israel has not been put to place by Hamas , it is the other way around. Isreal has exposed the divisions amongst the palestinians and has suceeded in it’s objectives i.e killing the person they were after and destroying the nascent infrastructure in place. Caese fire or truce is ususlly between two enemies and not between an occupying power and the occupied which is the case here legally. If UN could not prevent destruction how can it construct!
Are you aware of the fact that the nutrition of the palestinians living in Gaza is in the hands of the occupying power. Men are allowed circa 2800 calories daily, women less and children even less.
Hamas won a genuine free election which was internationally acknowledged with ex president Carter in lead. Hamas and not Fatah could have formed a unity Govt. but powers to be would not allow. The last time President Abbas visited Gaza was five years ago. Even at the end of present hostilities he did not travel to part of his own country while other head of states did.
A state–excuse me -an entity divided against iteslf should put it’s act together before going to UN to be baptised. I look forward to comments before going further.
