Gaza is about to explode, warns UN official
...where theory meets practice and practice loses... official warned on Thursday amid a spike in festivities on the border with Israel over the past week. Maybe Israel should just give it back to the Paleostinians as a gesture of good faith... Oh wait. Never mind. "Old wounds continue to bleed and deepen as we speak, risking an outbreak of another war," Nikolay Mladenov, the UN’s Special Coordinator for the Middle East, told the Security Council during an open debate on the crisis. While his briefing covered the situations in Syria, Yemen  ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...and Leb, it was largely focused on the unfolding crisis along the Gazoo fence, which is at the tiny enclave’s border with Israel. Since March 30, 35 Paleostinians have been killed and large numbers injured by Israeli security forces. No Israeli casualties have been reported, the UN official added. He urged Israel to reduce the use of live fire and called on Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,, which governs the enclave, and the leaders of the demonstrations to keep protesters away from the Gazoo fence. The combination of the security, development and humanitarian deterioration, coupled with the political impasse, makes Gazoo "a powder keg," Mr Mladenov said, calling for action to prevent another war in the enclave. Gazoo Strip was shaken by seven weeks of festivities in the summer of 2014 between Israeli forces and Paleostinians. Posted by: Fred 2018-04-29 |
