hosting of an Israeli delegation at a time when Israel is coming under huge pressure from the rest of the international community to investigate war crime charges regarding its conduct in Gaza and to freeze settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The continuing blockade of Gaza by Israel is utterly unjustified . . . Denying access to our Minister for Foreign Affairs only serves to give the impression that Israel is unwilling to let the outside world see the suffering which is going on.
The continuing blockade of Gaza by Israel is utterly unjustified and is exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis. Denying access to our Minister for Foreign Affairs only serves to give the impression that Israel is unwilling to let the outside world see the suffering which is going on.
Consistent with this same resolution, efforts must also be made to address Israel's legitimate security concerns, including through mechanisms to prevent the smuggling of weapons into Gaza and an end to Palestinian rocket fire at Israeli civilians.

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.

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...
