A recent poll shows that 61% of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza prefer Hamas to be in control of the Gaza Strip
The five-month-old Gaza war has put a renewed focus on a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as foreseen by the Oslo accords from the early 1990s.
The decision to stall the entry of Palestinian workers was made for security reasons, especially following reports that Gazan workers supplied Hamas with key information for its attack.
An ugly, fringe phenomenon falsely puffed up to ‘balance’ the crimes of Hamas
This year is already the bloodiest in the West Bank in nearly two decades, and fears are compounding of the situation escalating further.
The report also indicated that 22% of Palestinian wage employees work in Israel and in settlements in the West Bank
Hundreds of people congregated and burned tires near the edge of the Gaza fence. Security sources say the riots are incitement for a “day of rage” in Gaza in solidarity with Palestinians in West Bank
