In Gaza, suicides are a political message. Are four suicides in one week in the Gaza Strip – bringing the total to 12 since the beginning of the year – a coincidence or part of a phenomenon?

In Gaza, suicides are a political message

In Gaza this is a political question, and the answers one hears are divided according to party affiliation and the split in Palestinian self-rule. To Hamas, the claim that it’s a phenomenon and that it’s on the increase sounds like vilification by its rivals and ill-wishers, particularly Fatah – an attempt to undeservingly pin the blame on it. Meanwhile Hamas’ critics and opponents, even if they agree that the root of the problem lies with Israel’s military and bureaucratic measures, which have strangled Gaza’s economy and turned the Strip into a huge prison, cut off from the world, nevertheless believe that Hamas, having been in power for 13 years and often boasting of its achievements, shares part of the blame for the fact that young people have lost their taste for life.

" As July 1, the date announced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare Israel's sovereignty over the West Bank and Jordan Valley, approaches, the area has entered a state of uncertainty. Netanyahu made the announcement last month following US President Donald Trump’s so-called “Deal of the Century.

" Palestinian officials say that under the US plan, Israel will annex 30-40% of the West Bank, including all of East Jerusalem. Separately, the Hamas spokesperson said reaching a prisoners swap deal with Tel Aviv is among their top priorities. To save himself, Netanyahu is going to war with Gaza. Even as Israel becomes chronically unable to form a government, the ‘Gaza consensus’ — the endless pounding of the strip into oblivion — persists.

Electronicintifada. Striscia di Gaza, quali interessi economici? — L'Indro. La recente apertura di Hamas all’Anp sembra essere uno dei più significativi passi verso l’attenuarsi del conflitto nella Striscia di Gaza negli ultimi anni.

Striscia di Gaza, quali interessi economici? — L'Indro

Fra le principali motivazioni che hanno spinto Hamas a cercare di mediare con Abu Mazen, Presidente dell’Autorità Nazionale Palestinese, ci sono quelle legate allo stato catastrofico in cui si è trovata la Striscia, dopo la stretta sulle risorse alimentari ed energetiche che ha costretto la popolazione a condizioni di vita precarie. Israel, Hamas trade heavy fire after deadly incursion. GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian militants bombarded Israel with dozens of rockets and mortar shells Monday, while Israeli warplanes struck targets throughout the Gaza Strip in what appeared to be the most intense exchange of fire since a 2014 war.

Palestinian officials said at least three people, including two militants, were killed by Israeli fire and nine were wounded, and an Israeli airstrike destroyed the ruling Hamas group’s TV station. In Israel, the national rescue service said at least 20 people were wounded, including a 19-year-old soldier and a 60-year-old woman who were in critical condition. The fighting cast doubt over recent understandings brokered by Egypt and U.N. officials to reduce tensions. Just a day earlier, Israel’s prime minister had defended those understandings, saying he was doing everything possible to avoid another war. The United Nations said it was working with Egypt to broker a halt in the violence. Lt. Sinwar: The wall of Gaza siege started to collapse - وكالة شهاب للأنباء.

C'è un'intesa tra Israele e Hamas su Gaza. Israele e Hamas hanno trovato un’intesa per ridurre le violenze e le tensioni che proseguivano da mesi nella Striscia di Gaza, territorio controllato proprio dai palestinesi radicali di Hamas. Il piano – mediato dall’Egitto, finanziato dal Qatar e avviato alla fine del mese scorso – prevede l’arrivo nella Striscia di gasolio per azionare un secondo generatore nell’unica centrale elettrica di Gaza, e di soldi per pagare gli stipendi dei dipendenti pubblici impiegati da Hamas. L’obiettivo è quello di fermare la pericolosa escalation di tensione a cui si stava assistendo nella Striscia, e che rischiava di provocare una nuova guerra tra Israele e Hamas: negli ultimi mesi gli scontri al confine e i bombardamenti su Gaza avevano provocato la morte di 170 palestinesi, mentre molti territori sul lato israeliano erano stati danneggiati dal lancio di oggetti e razzi provenienti dalla Striscia.

Kamil Abu Rukon as well as Minister for Regional Cooperation Tzachi Hanegbi.

The mass Friday demonstrations have since continued.
