ANALYSIS / Key Arab states hope for weakened Hamas
By Zvi Barel, Haaretz Correspondent

sed the border only to encounter Egyptian gunfire aimed at driving them back. The ongoing closure of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt has become a symbol of Cairo's policy, which critics charge is one of collaborating with Israel to impose economic sanctions on the Strip. Judging by Arab leaders' statements to the media,
or the slogans shouted by demonstrators in several Arab capitals, one might have thought that Egypt, not Israel, was the one waging war on Gaza.


Hamas' demand that Egypt open Rafah to all Gazans, and not just to the
wounded seeking treatment abroad, has been rejected in part because Egypt
remains committed to an Israeli-Palestinian agreement from 2005 that
governs the Gaza border crossings, even though it was never a signatory to the pact. But beyond this formal reason, Egypt wants to prevent thousands of Palestinians from once again crossing the border into its territory. This past January, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians broke through the border fence, the Egyptian government suffered harsh criticism at home for allowing Egypt's sovereignty to be violated.

Nevertheless, it seems unlikely that Cairo will long be able to withstand
the enormous pressure being generated by the Arab media and public.

Thus far, Hamas has not succeeded in generating an Arab diplomatic
initiative that would lead to a renewed cease-fire on its terms. Egypt and Saudi Arabia, which view Hamas as an Iranian ally whose goal is to increase Tehran's regional influence at their expense, prefer to wait a bit in the hopes that Israel's military operation will strip Hamas of its ability to dictate terms. And without those two states, the Arab League will have trouble even convening an emergency summit.

Granted, such a summit has limited practical value. But its absence
indicates that Arab solidarity with the Palestinians is crumbling under
Hamas' leadership.

Cairo is still furious with Hamas for having torpedoed Egyptian-sponsored
reconciliation talks between Hamas and Fatah in November, while Saudi
Arabia is wary of launching any new initiative after the much-touted
reconciliation agreement it brokered between Hamas and Fatah in 2006
collapsed into bloodshed nine months later. As a result, Qatar is likely to step into the role of "honest broker" between Israel and Hamas. Qatar, one of only two Arab nations (along with Jordan) that contacted Israel directly to demand that it stop its operation in Gaza, currently carries diplomatic heft. This is partly because of its success in brokering an agreement between the warring factions in Lebanon this spring, but also because it manages to maintain good relations with everyone: both Israel and Iran, as well as Syria and Saudi Arabia.

Nevertheless, it will probably be premature to talk about mediation toward a cease-fire as long as Jerusalem believes it can force Hamas to sue for a truce on Israel's terms.

My dear friends ,
the war in Gaza did not stop for the third day... it seems that the israily government want to destroy Gaza and every thing in it...
I am sure that this barbarian attack on Gaza will not stop untill the united Nation council takes its actual rule in protecting human rights...

my heart cries for all the innocents suffering this tit for tat war. There is so much FEAR in that piece of land and the pain which has accumulated during all these years of struggles, has become so intense that no one can see the fear underlying it. The only way to banish FEAR is LOVE. The only real thing in life is LOVE. I still believe that love will win in the end. though it might take more time and more lives until that day. I wish you all the peace that is our birth right. Don't stop believing and working for it!!!
With blessings of love,light,joy,abundance,peace within you and outside. Anat-Elyah

Our Earth is besieged by madness and our future seems dictated by maniacs!
My heart is bleeding for all the innocents - the palestenians seem to be doomed to perdition -----
Vomitus provocative acts - terror vs anti-terror just HORROR!

This may well be the source of World War Three then Mutually Assured
Destruction . No-one wants MAD . Why am I so frightened by , what
no-one wants . Nonviolence and education , must hold us together , as a
common voice of the masses , for expanding peace . Grow into the 21st
century , and work to protect our offsprings future . Peace and Prosperity.

I have just committed, with an Israeli Jew and an American Jew, to donating $100 each to Palestinian human development (i.e., food, medicine, education, etc.) on behalf of peace and forgiveness - the proverbial olive brand - and to finding 2 other people and/or organizations to donate funds and find 2 others to donate, etc., etc.

I am looking for an existing credible and efficient organization - preferably with a non-political pacifist agenda - to accept and administer the funds. Does anyone have any suggestions for such an organization?

I would like to hear people's opinions, both Palestinian and Israeli to help me to understand the facts. Please leave a message on my page or add me as a friend.

"There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands". Plato.
My prayers are with those who are suffering during this conflict. May God be with them. Sharon
