But even if the fighting stopped today, current events have shown that tensions will remain and very little will be needed to trigger renewed battles. If Hamas rules supreme in Gaza, that might trigger back-channel talks with Israel, working towards its professed goal of a long-term truce with Israel if it ends the occupation. Three days after the raid, having demanded Cpl Shalit's unconditional release, Israel launched its first ground invasion into Gaza since its unilateral withdrawal from the strip a year earlier. He is singled our for repeated beatings and humiliation. Two Palestinians in Gaza City and one in Rafah in the south describe the security situation. But then Hamas may not want to be seen to be "collaborating" with Israel, the very charge it has levelled against elements in Fatah. This is especially true between the Hamas executive force and Fatah strongman Muhammad Dahlan's Preventive Security force. Matthew Price considers what has happened to the Israeli peace movement. Iran has pledged financial support, but it is not clear how much of it has got through to Gaza. I saw a roadblock, empty streets and felt the tension. Life expectancy of Arabs is lower, so is educational achievement. He is also forced to beg for mercy as a gun barrel is prodded into his chest. His case has exacerbated the growing polarisation of Israel's Jewish and Arab communities. The gunmen shouted "Stop! He is described in a caption as "licentious". "Oslo led to an increase in funding from international groups. And worse, since the terror attacks people became afraid and distrustful of the intentions of the Palestinians. At the moment, he appears to be adopting strong-arm tactics - boosted, no doubt, by the real possibility of an end to the economic embargo suggested by the US. They are working for suspicious people - maybe not even for Hamas or Fatah but for their own reasons. I tried many times to get permission, but was always refused. Azmi Bishara thinks its time to take his fight to the outside world Arab villages for the most part receive less in state aid even though they are generally poorer than Jewish ones. This spells more misery for ordinary Gazans, many of whom spent this week huddled in their homes for fear of getting caught in the crossfire. Here in Rafah it is quiet, but it's still not safe to go around. But then Hamas may not want to be seen to be "collaborating" with Israel, the very charge it has levelled against elements in Fatah. Cars were overheating left, right and centre, conked out on the hard shoulder of the highway running through Tel Aviv. Azmi Bishara thinks its time to take his fight to the outside world Arab villages for the most part receive less in state aid even though they are generally poorer than Jewish ones. They made us raise our hands and approach them slowly. Given that Palestinian Muslims are nearly all from the Sunni branch, some videos seem to be exploiting, or stirring up, anti-Shia sentiments. The militants have taken positions in Rafah so roadblocks could be their next step. One video graphically shows the pro-Fatah militant being dragged along and shot by masked gunmen, apparently taken from Hamas's own television station, al-Aqsa TV. Yet the street battles in Gaza have erupted once again. The report, entitled the Future Vision of the Palestinians in Israel, does not just list the problems of discrimination. Who has been involved in the fighting and why? "We understand that's its necessary to have maximum contiguity in the West Bank. We are meant to have university exams at the end of this month; I think they may have to be delayed. He has issued a decree enabling the new Hamas-free government led by Prime Minister Salam Fayyad to rule without the approval of the Hamas-dominated parliament. Deaths and many injuries. I said, "Do you know who I am? I study at the Islamic university in Gaza. Still fresh in Israeli minds is the Lebanon War last summer. Abbas and Haniya have announced several factional ceasefires Fatah gunmen are loyal to the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas; Hamas gunmen to the Palestinian Prime Minister, Ismail Haniya. We were all terrified. I saw a roadblock, empty streets and felt the tension. When the bullet came my sister was in the room. "We would get shot if we tried. I was at the university, but they told us to go home. A Palestinian journalist from Rafah describes a trip to Gaza City, and a student there describes exam frustrations. Deaths and many injuries. So for a few metres I faced them as I walked away and kept eye contact. |
