Yesterday I wrote about how things have developed in Gaza and how Fatah ended exiled to the West-bank, and that this is very worrying, since it shows a pattern which could be identified as the “PLO Phased Plan” being put into action.
And after watching the following interview on CNN-International with the Palestinian Ambassador Manuel Hassassian and noticing the rhetoric he uses specially in the last sentence “If Israel wants to create this kind of ..... by having Hamas controlling Gaza, if it´s because of its unilateral approach, they have to pay the prize for this” ... one can not ignore that it sounds very much like ... halfway to a Declaration of War!!!
CNN:
How would you tonight characterize the damage being done to the dream, so many Palestinians had of an independent state?! Is this effectively gonna die for another generation?
Palestinian ambassador:
Well we have to understand regardless who is in control militarily in Gaza, we have a state-information, we have a president, we have our institutions, we have to support our democracies. Their is a state of emergency which was dictated by the president. I hope the international community will help the palestinian president, to overcome this situation which is really effecting everything in Palestine. I hope that the people in Gaza won´t be left to starve from hunger, because whether Hamas is controlling or not, it is insignificant. We are at the brink of starvation in Gaza! And this problem in Gaza is going to shift into the West-Bank and the West-Bank is in close borders with Israel. If Israel wants to create this kind of ..... by having Hamas controlling Gaza, if it´s because of its unilateral approach, they have to pay the prize for this.
CNN:
And with that we can leave it there. We thank you very much indeed, Sir, for joining us tonight.
