Hamas Will Go for Broke in Gaza
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Yoni Ben Menachem - Hamas is trying to impose new combat rules upon Israel based on the assumption that Israel's hands are tied and that Israel is not interested in an all-out war, toppling the Hamas regime. The main reason for the embargo on Gaza is the fact that Hamas is a terrorist organization that wants to fight Israel and is trying to bring in weaponry for this purpose by sea and land. Hamas is living amid an internal conflict. It wants to turn Gaza into an army base from which "the liberation of Palestine from the sea to the river" will come. But it does not have the military power for this. While Hamas is in power there will be no solution, and Israel and the international community will not assist an armed terrorist movement that calls for and tries to bring about the destruction of Israel.
