Israel calls for conditional aid for Gaza (click here)
Israeli Finance Minister Yair Lapid has called on the international community to pull together a massive aid package for Gaza conditioned on the Palestinian Authority returning to power in place of the Islamic militant group Hamas.Lapid said that the Western-leaning Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is the legitimate authority in Gaza, which was been blockaded since Hamas seized control there in 2007.
This so called aid by Israel is self serving. How is that? You know this. What do the people of Gaza and their President want? Access to trade. Now, why is Israel providing aid? Compassion or plans for more control and further violence against the Palestinians?
If Israel brags about the aid they are providing to the Palestinians, then they don't need to remove the blockade. Yes?
Israel OWES Palestine war reparations, not aid.
