Netanyahu said that Gaza is now a “terrorist base”, four years after the withdrawal from the Strip

JERUSALEM, Aug. 2 (EUROPA PRESS) —

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today held a negative balance of the four years that have elapsed since the unilateral withdrawal of Israel from the Gaza Strip, which is now “a Hamas terrorist base sponsored by Iran.”

“Israel forced 10,000 of its citizens to leave the Gaza Strip,  and now Gaza has become a terrorist base”, Netanyahu said during the regular weekly meeting of his Cabinet, which declared its intention to ensure the welfare of Israelis who left the 21 Israeli settlements that existed in the Strip during the so-called Plan of disconnection.

“I want to stress that we are fully committed to the rehabilitation of those who were uprooted, and that the Cabinet intends to address this issue next week,” said the Israeli prime minister, who said on the peace plan for Middle East that Palestinian militias currently operating in the Strip were an obstacle to the principle of  “reciprocity” to dominate the process.

“We will not tolerate rocket fire from Gaza, and we will act decisively to respond to each attack. Peace once again will be based on reciprocity”, Netanyahu said. Israeli Prime Minister further mentioned that any kind of negotiation to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can not be subject to any preconditions. “Anyone who insists on this issue is an obstacle to the peace talks”, he said in a statement by the Israeli newspaper ‘Haaretz’.

Siege shortages

Hundreds of Palestinians are on the local stations to get gas provisions since in Gaza it ran out because of the Israeli siege.

Not only this world silences the siege of Gaza, but it has taken serious efforts to tighten the siege on the defenseless people. This has culminated in their efforts to prevent even the simplest forms of life in Gaza. They prevent the entry of milk for kids, food, gas and oil… maybe believing Palestinians one day will think  to knee and surrender.

Over two years 1.5 million Palestinians have been suffering the ravages of the unjust Israeli siege, a siege that is unjust against children before than adults. However, the world keeps describing the cries of Palestinian children aiming for freedom and to live safely in Gaza as the cries of terrorism that must be answered with shells and heavy machine guns.

How long will this world be unjust and quiet and close their eyes towards what is happening in the Gaza Strip?
