Israel

Senator Schumer’s call for early elections in Israel is not a completely unique idea. There have been some news articles about that subject in Israel’s media. There is also speculation that Prime Minister Netanyahu would not fair well in those elections. So, I think Senator Schumer is lending his voice to empower those that would like new elections. 

I hate to state the obvious, but, UN food distribution is mostly ineffective for many reasons including corruption in Gaza. There is no governance in Gaza except for the IDF, therefore, there are reports of black markets using the supplies sent by the UN. 

It seems obvious to me that aid delivery has to occur with the presence of the IDF to ensure the people are receiving it. I think it is problematic for NGOs to deliver supplies to the Palestinians. The NGO personnel die if the IDF sees a member of Hamas at the food delivery cite and are successful in firing at Hamas. It is for that reason the supplies arriving to the people should be supervised by Israel to prevent theft, exploitation and supplies being diverted to Hamas or other terrorists still in Gaza.
