To achieve lasting peace in the Middle East, the state of Israel should recognize each and every one of the rights of the Palestinian nation, put an end to the occupation of Palestinian territories, end the encirclement imposed on the Gaza strip, dismantle the Israeli settlements, and resolve the issue ...
Israel has not learnt that the rules of engagement in the Middle East have changed since the arrival of US President Barack Obama in the White House. Unlike the war on Lebanon in 2006, which ended in a ceasefire, the war on Gaza continues as a war of diplomacy and public opinion. Israel must face reperc...
Earlier today ... in a joint Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet security service operation, the Israel Air Force bombed a group of terror operatives on their way to fire rockets from the northern Gaza strip into Israel. Accurate hits including the rocket launcher were identified.

Israel always blocks negotiations and now they have been stopped again [after Israel's incursion into Gaza last win...
This is a legitimate question. Watch what is happening these days with the deal to exchange the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Hamas has confirmed for the second time that it has reached a consensus with all factions in Gaza to cease launching rockets on Israel, which means that Hamas has stopped the ‘re...
It is very possible that Hamas was only referring to Qassams, not mortars. Different groups are operating in Gaza, and Hamas may not be able to contain all of them. We knew the attacks wouldn't stop despite Hamas' declaration
The right question to ask…is whether the specific actions taken by Israel in Gaza actually serve Israel's legitimate long-term security interests and America's best interests. In this case, J Street believes they may well not.
mak[ing] no mention of the relentless rocket and mortar attacks…by Hamas and other violent militant groups in Gaza against civilian targets in Israel.
There's an alternative to the current negotiations on [abducted Israeli soldier Gilad] Shalit. All [of Israel's] economic and military leverage should have been used on Gaza to bring about Gilad Shalit's release.
Israel took action in Gaza earlier this year to attack Hamas and knock out the Hamas rocket launchers in the Gaza Strip ... Israel took enormous cautionary measures to prevent civilian casualties. Even though Israel and the Palestinian Authority are not signatory members of the ICC, the ICC is still inv...
I find it very difficult to believe that at a time when the majority of the international community is calling for investigations into what happened during Israel's invasion of Gaza, our leaders are arguing over which party is more blindly supportive of Israel.
Hamas talk about the importance of resistance, but why aren't they resisting now. There is a truce between them and Israel, and since the war in Gaza Hamas has not carried out any act of resistance.
officers and soldiers of the coordinator of the government activities in the territories and the Coordination and Liaison Authority in Gaza work daily in a complex reality and under many threats to security in order to enable the transfer of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip into Israel for various human...
disturbed by the framing of Israel’s military operation as part of ‘an overall policy of aimed at punishing the Gaza population for its resilience.’ The facts presented in the report itself would not seem to support such a sweeping conclusion.
all the human rights organizations are calling on Israel to launch an investigation into the incidents of the attack on Gaza and not refute the report’s conclusions.
Mission concluded that serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law were committed by Israel in the context of its military operations in Gaza…and that Israel committed actions amounting to war crimes, and possibly crimes against humanity. The Mission also found that Palestinian...
US President Barack Obama and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Israel and the Hamas authorities in Gaza to cooperate with the United Nations fact-finding mission to investigate the allegations of serious Israeli violations during the war on Gaza. The mission will be headed by the reputable Jus...
This violence and this obstruction show that the Hamas-led government is trying to restrict media coverage of events in Gaza that could undermine its political message. We would like to express our support for this independent news agency, which has managed to provide news coverage in Gaza despite raids...
Judge Shadmi has apparently forgotten what country he is sitting in and under what flag he is judging ... This is an outrageous comparison, between Arab hooligans who identify with the enemies in wartime, when we are fighting the ones who fired missiles at us from Gaza in Cast Lead, and they, the Arabs,...
We have told the president that for technical reasons we cannot organize elections in time... Israel has not yet agreed to hold elections in East Jerusalem; the Hamas movement has refused to hold elections in the Gaza Strip
President Abbas will make the appropriate decision after he returns ... Hamas' decision to ban the election commission from working in Gaza proves that Hamas is not eager to reach national unity and reconciliation.
