| Opposition MKs push to convene Knesset's FADC due to Gaza escalation |
| 2008-11-16 |
| Several opposition MKs, led by Likud's Yuval Steinitz, said Sunday they would push to convene the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in light of escalating violence in the Gaza region. The MKs submitted a demand to that effect to committee chairman Tzahi Hanegbi (Kadima). However, there is an alternate view Fatah acknowledges responsibility for Gaza attacks Olmert, Abbas set out to discuss the recent round of violence in Gaza. Besides the utter immorality of discussing the matter casually instead of bombing the Arab murderers, the question arises: what does Abbas have to do with Gaza? Officially, Hamas had ousted every trace of Fatah presence there. The answer is simple: Fatah-affiliated groups such as PRC and PIJ attack Israel from Gaza in order to discredit Hamas and make it unwilling to risk presidential elections in 2009, so that Abbas can stay in power after his term expires. The Fatah accomplices also try to provoke Israel into invading Gaza to clear it from Hamas for Fatah. |
