Israel: Hamas Is the Source of Gaza's Economic Woes
(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - Maj. Gen. (res.) Amos Gilad, director of the Israel Defense Ministry's Political-Military Affairs Bureau, told a conference Wednesday that economic development is "not the fundamental solution" to Gaza's problems and that as long as Hamas rules Gaza, there will not be peace. Gilad brushed off assertions that a port or lightened security measures would have an impact. "I'm sorry to give you a harsh picture, but that's what it is," he said.
