No Funds for Gaza as Long as Hamas Is in Power
(Asharq al-Awsat-UK) Ali Ibrahim - It seems that the Arabs' habit of claiming disasters as victories is still alive and kicking. The horrific footage of destruction coming out of Gaza City reflects the disastrous situation on the ground, while Hamas leaders roam its ruined streets talking about their victory. And who will risk their money by investing in Gaza, when there is no guarantee that a similar clash will not erupt every year or two? As long as Hamas insists on controlling Gaza, and continues to prevent the PA and the national unity government from exercising their duties, there will be neither funds nor investment. The PA must return to Gaza and a responsible political leadership must be created, one that is able to impose its control on the ground and is able to sign international agreements.
