Mishaal: Gaza will not return to the siege

Head of Hamas’s political bureau Khaled Mishaal expressed his belief that the Gaza Strip would not return to the blockade or remain isolated from the world.

“1,800,000 Gazans have to live like other humans who have national rights and to travel by land, sea and air, not because Gaza is separated from the rest of the Palestinian body, but as part of this Palestinian homeland. Gaza is the coast of the West Bank,” Mishaal stated in press remarks to Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed website.

“The persistent struggle will achieve our people’s aspirations,” he stressed.

The Hamas political leader also talked about the recent ceasefire agreement and asserted that there would be another round of indirect talks soon with the Israeli occupation in Cairo to finish other files related to the Gaza airport and seaport, the blockade and the exchange of prisoners.

He said that all the Palestinian people support the demands that were tabled by their resistance in the recent Cairo talks and are insistent on extracting them.

Mishaal pointed out that Egypt, as a mediator and sponsor, is responsible for protecting the cease-fire agreement and ensuring that both parties are committed to implementing its contents.

Palestinian poll: Gaza war significantly boosts Hamas’ popularity

A vast majority of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip consider Hamas to be the winner of the summer’s conflict, with the group receiving a significant boost in popularity, according to a new poll.

The findings, published Tuesday by the Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research (PSR), show that 4 in 5 Palestinians surveyed believe Hamas won the Gaza war, while only 3% believe Israel came out the winner. A similar majority see Israel as responsible for the outbreak of hostilities.

Around two-thirds believe the ceasefire agreement satisfies Palestinian interests, while 94% were satis-fied with Hamas’ military performance in confronting Israeli forces. In an evaluation of the performance of various Palestinian actors, the PA and Abbas received 36% and 39% positive ratings respectively, while Khaled Meshaal and Hamas received 78% and 88% respectively.

PSR described the results as showing a predictable post-war “spike in the popularity of Hamas and its leaders”, as well as “major decline in the popularity of Fatah and president Abbas”. The poll was con-ducted between 26-30 August, with a sample of 1,270 adults in 127 randomly selected locations.

The respected pollsters note that “the size of the change in favour of Hamas is unprecedented since 2006” and that “if presidential elections were to take place today, Ismail Haniyeh would easily win over Ab-bas and Hamas would win the largest percentage of the popular vote in parliamentary elections”. There is also strong support for “Hamas’ approach of armed confrontation with Israel as the most effective means of ending Israeli occupation”.

In a telephone call with a Hamas of-ficial yesterday evening, Qatari Emir Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani said that Gaza had raised the heads of the Ar-abs and Muslims around the world.

Speaking to deputy Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, the Emir hailed the victory the resistance movement achieved over the Israeli occupation.

He said reconstructing the Gaza Strip is a “duty”.

For his part, Haniyeh expressed his gratitude for the regional and interna-tional Qatari efforts, which aimed at

UNRWA Commissioner-General, Pierre Krähenbühl, says that the re-construction process of Gaza may take over a decade, if the current blockade on the Gaza Strip is not lift-ed.

According to Al Ray Palestinian Media Agency, Kraehenbuel declared, dur-ing a two-day official visit to Switzer-land, that the blockade on Gaza “must be lifted”.

“I would like to thank the government

and people of Switzerland for their generous and unwavering support to UNRWA and the refugees we serve. The recent fighting in Gaza and the UNRWA response demonstrated once more how vital our services have become,” he said.

Mr. Krähenbühl announced that at least 20,000 homes were destroyed during the recent Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip, and that there had been widespread destruction of public infrastructure. He states that it was “an imperative for the international community and for the people of Gaza to re-construct after the devastation”, which was unprecedented in recent history.

To facilitate prosecuting Israeli war criminals

Haneyya urges Abbas to sign Rome StatuteIsmail Haneyya, the Deputy Head of Hamas political bu-reau, urged Palestinian Author-ity (PA) chairman Mahmoud Ab-bas to sign the Rome Statute, which will allow Palestine to join the International Criminal Court (ICC) and prosecute the Israeli war criminals.

Delivering Friday’s sermon on the ruins of al-Susi mosque in Gaza City, Haneyya said that Hamas Movement and the Pal-estinian factions had signed the document they were asked to sign, in order to urge Abbas to sign the Rome Statute, stress-ing the importance of signing so as to prosecute the “Zionist war criminals” at the ICC.

He also praised the Palestinian citizens’ steadfastness and sac-rifices and that they embraced the resistance during the Israeli aggression, confirming that all the houses, mosques, schools, ministries and hospitals the oc-cupation destroyed will be re-built.

He said: “Our message to the

occupation is that you can demolish the mosques but not the thoughts, you can take minarets down but you cannot destroy our determination”.

Haneyya hailed the international solidarity rallies with the Palestinian people during the aggression, especially in Europe and Latin America, which included organizing major demonstrations and recalling ambas-sadors from Israel.

Haneyya expressed his gratitude to the countries which supported the Palestinian people politically and financially, especially Turkey and Qa-tar. He also thanked Egypt for its role in reaching a ceasefire agreement, and he urged it to pursue its efforts to follow up on implementation of what has been agreed upon.

Israeli soldiers invaded on Tuesday, at dawn, the southern West Bank city of Hebron, and initiated the destruction of a dairy factory that belongs to the Islamic Charitable Society for Orphans, in the city.

Sheikh Hatem al-Bakri, head of the administrative board of the Islamic Charitable Society, said the factory provides the needed means for caring for the orphans in the Hebron District.

“What is happening is an attack on the orphans themselves: several months ago, the army confis-cated various machines with an estimated monetary value of $2 million,” al-Bakri told the Maan News Agency. “This factory is essential for the services, and charitable aid we provide.”

The Charitable Society decided to open this fac-

Palestinian killed by Israeli forces fire near Qalqilia

A young Palestinian man, from Nablus, was shot and killed, by Israeli army fire, at the Tay-beh roadblock near the north-ern West Bank city of Qalqilia; one was mildly wounded, and three detained.

Palestinian medical sources said Mohammad Na’im Sabri and al-Qanni, 25, from Ku-fur Qalil village, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, was seriously injured by army fire, and succumbed to his wounds.

Israeli sources claimed the slain man “tried to speed through the roadblock”, alleg-edly to ram the soldiers with his car, before the soldiers shot him.

Settlers’ break-ins continuein al-Aqsa Mosque

A state of tension has prevailed in al-Aqsa Mosque as Israeli settlers’ break-ins contin-ued into its squares while Palestinian wom-en’s access to the Mosque is still denied for the fourth consecutive day.

Jerusalemite sources said that Jewish set-tlers headed by the extremist rabbi Yehuda Glick stormed since the early morning hours al-Aqsa Mosque under Israeli police protec-tion.

At the same time, Jerusalemite women con-tinued their protests at the entrances to the Mosque after being denied from having ac-cess into it, condemning Israeli escalated at-tacks at the holy place.

For its part, Aqsa Foundation for Endow-ment and Heritage warned of the continued Israeli restrictions on women’s access to the Mosque.

The foundation said that Palestinian women of all ages are still prevented from entering into the Mosque for the fourth day in a row.

The foundation described the Israeli restrictions as a fla-grant attack against the Islamic holy site and its sanctity.


Israel violates truce anew, arrests two fishermen, raids southern Gaza

Israeli navy forces arrested two Palestinian fishermen on Wednesday morning off the coast of northern Gaza Strip in a major violation of the truce agreement that started ten days ago.

Palestinian sources said that Israeli gunboats approached the coast of Beit Lahia and en-circled a Palestinian fishing boat amidst inten-sive shooting before towing the boat along with those on board to Ashdod port.

The sources said that the gunboats fired a number of projectiles and opened machinegun fire at the beaches and at fishermen but no ca-sualties were reported.

In another violation of the ceasefire, IOF sol-diers in army vehicles and bulldozers advanced 100 meters into southern Gaza on Wednesday morning.

A field observer said that the bulldozers razed land in the area amidst indiscriminate shooting, adding that drones were flying over the area all the time.

One week after ceasefire took effect, 108,000 Palestinians remain homeless

Gaza reconstruction set to cost $8 billion

A report by the United Nations Office of Coordination of Humani-tarian Affairs (UN OCHA) has es-timated that, one week after Isra-el’s 50-day long assault on Gaza came to an end, 108,000 Pales-tinians were made homeless be-cause Israeli bombardment either totally destroyed their homes or damaged them so severely as to render them uninhabitable.

Of these, just over 58,000 re-main sheltered at United Nations schools – making it impossible for the school year to begin on time for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian schoolchildren living in Gaza. The remaining 50,000 have doubled up with relatives and friends whose homes were not as badly damaged in the Is-raeli assault.

The number may actually be far higher than the UN OCHA estimate, since over half a million were estimated to have been displaced dur-ing the onslaught.

According to Palestinian experts in a report published on Thursday, the reconstruction of Gaza is to cost $7.8 billion. This has been deemed the most comprehensive assessment yet of the damage inflicted by Israel’s assault on Gaza over the course of seven weeks.

The Palestinian Economic Council for Development and Recon-struction (PECDAR) warned that reconstruction could take as long as five years “if Israel removed its blockade over Gaza entirely.” Direct losses were estimated at $4.4 billion, of which $2.4 billion is needed to rebuild the 17,000 homes destroyed or damaged in the Israeli bombardment.

The survey set a further cost of $3.02 billion for essential infrastruc-ture in the Gaza strip such as a seaport and a water desalination plant. Gaza’s energy sector will equally need $250 million after Is-raeli missiles destroyed the only power plant. Further money will be needed in transportation, health, agriculture and finance sectors. PECDAR estimated the education system alone will need $143 mil-lion to recover.

Netanyahu: disarming Gaza is an unachievable goal

Inter-Israeli dispute over Gaza war

Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu said during a closed session with senior Is-raeli officials that the disarmament of Gaza would not be possible in the near or distant future, Israel’s Channel 10 reported.

The channel quoted officials who said that Netanyahu ruled out taking a final decision on a few issues in Gaza, such as the airport and seaport at this stage.

The channel said that contrary to public state-ments, Netanyahu confirmed that Hamas had gained some privileges as a result of the cease-fire, including the mitigation of the crossings and increasing the fishing area to more than 6 miles.

The channel quoted Netanyahu as saying that there were no preparations to hold a new round of indirect talks with the Palestinian factions in Cairo scheduled at the end of the month.

More than a week after the fighting in the Gaza Strip ended, a battle is raging in Israel’s intelligence community over what caused the war and some of the things that happened during it, Haaretz newspaper said on Friday.

The Shin Bet security apparatus thinks the armed wing of Hamas intentionally started and planned for the war, while the military in-telligence thinks it was an unplanned escala-tion that the Hamas leadership in Gaza would rather have ended earlier.

They also had arguments over what Israel had really known about Hamas’ tunnels, whether Hamas started the war intentionally, and whether Israel misjudged Hamas’ willing-ness to continue fighting a war that ultimately

These disagreements have sparked personal tensions between senior Shin Bet and military intelligence officials and have even drawn in some cabinet ministers.

Malaysians give RM2.3 million aid for welfare of Gaza children

Three non-governmental organ-isations (NGO) on Thursday re-ceived aid totalling RM2.3 million meant for the welfare of Pales-tinian children in Gaza.

The aid was presented by the Prime Minister’s wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor to Mercy Ma-laysia (Mercy), Perdana Global Peace Foundation (PGPF) and the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organisations (Mapim).

Rosmah, who is patron of the World Children Welfare Fund (WCWF) said, the fund donated RM1.5 million for the welfare of children in Gaza via Mercy and PGPF.

Malaysia & Palestinian Cause

“They each received donation of RM750,000,” she said before handing mock cheques to Mercy, PGPF and Mapim at Kompleks Seri Perdana, here.

Rosmah said the Welfare Asso-ciation of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti) pre-sented a donation of US$50,000 (RM158,825) to Mercy.

The Humanitarian Aid Fund for Gaza@JPM presented RM695,000 to Mercy, PGPF and Mapim. Mercy and PGPF each received RM200,000 while Mapim received RM295,000.

The Humanitarian Aid Fund for Gaza@JPM was launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib

Tun Razak in conjunction with Aid-ilfitri celebration on Aug 20.

Mercy would aid a hospital in Gaza while PGPF would finance educa-tional projects for children.

Rosmah said what is important is that the children affected by the war are not denied their right to education.

“The children must be encouraged to continue studies because only education can help them build a brighter future.

“I was told that PGPF has identified several schools to receive the aid to enable the children of Gaza to study in a better environment.”

Third KL Palestine Film Festival launched yesterday

The third Kuala Lumpur Palestine Film Festival 2014 (KLPFF) took place yesterday at Black Box, Publika, Solaris Dutamas, off Jalan Duta here.

It featured four movies about the struggles of Palestinians under Israeli occupation.

Organiser, Viva Palestina Malaysia’s (VPM) deputy chairman Siti Jamilah Sheikh Abdullah said the festival is aimed at creating awareness of the Palestinian struggle, raising funds for ambulances in Gaza and helping the territory’s reconstruction.

She said the festival marks the Malaysian premiere of Academy Award-nominated film Omar, a nar-ration of the Israel-Palestine conflict from a young freedom fighter’s point of view.

“There is also the Malaysian premiere of The Stones Cry Out,

which highlights the struggle for survival of Christian Palestinians, including 3,000 of them in Gaza,” she said.

The film directed by Italian filmmaker Yasmine Perni highlights the fact that Christianity began in Palestine, and Christian Palestinians have suffered persecution under Israeli occupation.

The other films are A World Not Ours and InchAllah.

Jamilah said VPM has transferred more than RM7.5 million to finance medical, educational and women’s projects in Gaza and since the Israeli attack last July, it has disbursed medical aid, food, mattresses, blankets, pillows, drinking water and ambulances worth more than RM1.3 million.

“KLPFF provides the opportunity for Malaysians to see powerful films which have won international awards and experience the rich culture of the Palestinians,” she said.

Winners and losers in Gaza

By: Ramzy Baroud

In the rush to analyse the out-come of Israel’s 51-day war in Gaza, dubbed Operation Protec-tive Edge, some may have ne-glected an important factor: this was not a war by traditional defi-nitions of warfare, thus the con-ventional analyses of victory and defeat are not applicable.

That being the case, how can we explain Israeli Prime Minis-ter Benjamin Netanyahu’s trium-phant statement on August 28, and the massive celebrations on the streets of Gaza regarding the resistance “victory” over Israel?

To be truly fathomed, they must be understood in context.

Soon after the ceasefire declara-tion on August 26, ending Israel’s most destructive war on Gaza yet, Netanyahu seemed to have disappeared from the scene.

Some Israeli media began pre-dicting the end of his political reign. Although this notion was a bit hasty, one can understand why. Much of the man’s politi-cal career was predicated on his “anti-terror” stance and Israeli security agenda.

He served as prime minister from 1996 to 1999, with the decided aim of defeating the Oslo “peace process”.

Articles & Analyses

He argued it compromised Isra-el’s security. Then as a finance minister in Sharon’s government (2003-2005), he was troubled by Ariel Sharon’s intentions regard-ing re-deploying out of Gaza. In fact, it was the Gaza “disen-gagement plan” that ended the Netanyahu-Sharon alliance.

It took Netanyahu a few years to fight his way back from the seeming oblivion in Israel’s com-plicated political landscape.

He fought a gruelling political battle, but managed to redeem only some of the right-wing Likud party’s past glory through frac-tious alliances.

He served as prime minister from 2009-2013, and for a third term (a rarity in Israeli history) from 2013 to the present.

Not only was Netanyahu the

king of Israel, but its kingmaker as well. He did keep his friends close and enemies closer, and cleverly balanced out seemingly impossible coalition odds.

He succeeded, not simply be-cause he is a shrewd politician, but also because he managed to unite Israel around one goal: security.

This he did by fighting “Palestin-ian terror”, a reference to various Palestinian resistance groups, including Hamas, and building Israeli defences.

He had such command over that political discourse that no one came even close, surely not the newcomer centralist politi-cian Yair Lapid, or even right-wing and far-right hawks Avigdor Liberman and Neftali Bennet.

But then, Gaza happened, a war that could possibly become Netanyahu’s biggest miscalcula-tion, and perhaps the reason for his downfall.

Aside from the collapse in his approval ratings, down from 82% on July 23, to less than 38% shortly after the ceasefire announcement, the man’s own language in his post-cease-fire press conference is telling enough.

He seemed desperate and de-fensive, arguing that Hamas failed to achieve its war objec-tive, although it was Israel, not Hamas that instigated the war with a list of objectives – none of which were achieved anyway.

Hamas responded by mocking his statement as the group didn’t start the war, nor had any de-mands then, a group official told Al Jazeera. The demands were made in the subsequent cease-fire talks in Egypt and some of them were, in fact, achieved.

Netanyahu is twisting language and stretching the truth in a de-spondent attempt to score a po-litical victory, or to simply save face. But few are convinced.

Writing in Foreign Policy on 20

July 20, Ariel Ilan Roth came to an early conclusion about the Gaza war, which has proven to be only partly true.

“No matter how and when the conflict between Hamas and Is-rael ends, two things are certain. The first is that Israel will be able to claim a tactical victory. The second is that it will have suf-fered a strategic defeat.”

Wrong. Even the tactical vic-tory was denied this time, unlike previous wars, most notably the so-called Operation Cast Lead (2008-09).

The Gaza resistance must have learned from its past mistakes, managing to withstand a 51-day war with a destructive outcome unprecedented in all past Gaza conflicts.

When the Egypt-mediated ceasefire was announced, every Israeli soldier was pushed be-hind Gaza’s borders.

Almost immediately after the agreement, a Hamas official from Gaza read a statement in which he called on Israelis living in the many evacuated border towns to return to their homes, in a statement of defiance also unprecedented.

Shortly after, hundreds of fight-ers representing all factions, Fa-tah included, stood at the ruins of the Shejaiya, neighbourhood in Gaza city.

“There is no room among us for that defeated, weak Arab,” the military leader of the Gaza resis-tance Abu Ubaydah declared, as throngs of people showered the fighters with kisses.

He, too, declared some kind of victory. But is his “victory” state-ment any different from that of Netanyahu’s?

“Israel has a history of claiming victory when in fact it has suf-fered defeat; the October 1973 war is the best example,” wrote Roth in Foreign Policy.

The difference back then is that many in Israel accepted false victories. This time, they refused to do so, as various opinion polls by Haaretz, Channel 2 and oth-ers are showing.

Furthermore, the chasm in Isra-el’s political class is wider than it has been in many years.

Irrespective of this, “victory” of the resistance cannot be under-stood within the same context of Israel’s own definition of victory, or false victory.

�e Gaza resistance must have learned �om its past mis-takes, managing to withstand a 51-day war with a de-structive outcome unprecedented in all past Gaza con�icts.

Surely the resistance “was able to establish deterrence, display-ing an incredible level of resil-ience and strength, even when equipped with primitive weap-ons”, as argued by Samah Sa-bawi.

The idea that powerful Israel, and the likes of Netanyahu, can use Palestinians as a testing ground for weapons or to enhance ap-proval ratings seems to be over.

The Sharon old wisdom that the Arabs and Palestinians “must be hit hard” and “must be beaten”, as a precondition for calm or peace was challenged like never before in the history of Arab-Is-raeli wars.

Gaza’s ceasefire “celebrations” were not the kind of celebra-tions that would follow a football match win.

To comprehend them as an ex-pression of mere joy is a mistake and reflects a lack of under-standing of Gaza society. It was more of a collective statement by people who lost 2,143 peo-ple, mostly civilians, and have more than 11,000 wounded and maimed to care for.

Let alone the total or partial destruction of 18,000 homes,

75 schools, many hospitals, mosques, and hundreds of fac-tories and shops.

No, it was not a statement of de-fiance in the symbolic sense ei-ther. It was a message to Israel that the resistance has matured and that Israel’s complete domi-nance over when wars start and how they end is over.

Only the future could prove how accurate such an assessment is and how consequential it will be for the West Bank and East Jeru-salem, which are under military occupation.

Interestingly, “liberating Jeru-salem” was in fact a dominant theme among jubilant Palestin-ians in Gaza.

Another theme was the insis-tence of national unity among all Palestinians. After all, this was the real reason Netanyahu had launched his war on Gaza in the first place.

Resistance discourse, al-Muqa-wama, is now the most dominant in Palestine, and it goes beyond factional divides, or the tired dis-cussion about useless “peace talks” that garnered nothing for Palestinians but territorial loss, political division and much hu-

miliation.

That sentiment is already re-verberating in the West Bank. But how it will be translated in the future is yet to be seen, considering the fact that the Palestinian Authority (PA) there is weak in its dealings with Israel, and very intolerant of any political dissent.

Israeli pressure on PA Presi-dent Mahmoud Abbas will continue. In his first press conference after the ceasefire Netanyahu repeated the same ultimatum.

Abbas “needs to choose what side he is on”, he said.

After failing to end the Gaza re-sistance, Netanyahu is left with nothing other than pressuring Abbas, 79, whose choice, after Gaza’s war, means so little to begin with.

Only the future could prove how accurate such an assess-ment is and how consequential it will be for the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which are under military occupation.
