"Israel and Egypt closed their crossings with Gaza to all but humanitarian aid after the Islamic militant Hamas seized power in the coastal strip in June." - AP
The dream is that Palestinians will blame Hamas.
I doubt if this is the case. There has been 60 years of blaming Israel - with widely varying degrees of justification - for every thing bad that happens to Palestinians.
I doubt if this will weaken Hamas. It will probably strengthen it.
A typically foolish move by the Olmert government. |
