Gaza

Uri Avnery schreibt,

dass die Trennung zwischen Gaza und Westbank das strategische Ziel der israelischen Regierung und Armee war.
Warum sonst hätte Sharon so unbedingt auf einem unilateralen Rückzug bestanden?:
"The cutting off of the Gaza Strip from the West Bank is a major strategic aim of the government and the army,
an important step in the historic effort to break the Palestinian resistance to occupation and annexation. ...
Israeli policy is torn between two conflicting desires:
on the one side, to prevent the events in the Gaza Strip repeating themselves in the West Bank,
where a Hamas takeover would be immensely more dangerous,
and on the other side, to prevent Abbas from succeeding to such an extent that the Americans would oblige Olmert to negotiate seriously with him.
As usual, the government is holding the stick by its two ends."
Saving President Abbas,
