Reopening Gaza Goods Crossing a Step Toward Stability
(Media Line-Jerusalem Post) Terrance J. Mintner - IDF Maj.-Gen. (res.) Gershon Hacohen said Israel's re-opening of the main cargo crossing into Gaza, the Kerem Shalom crossing, is a step toward creating stability in Gaza. "This is in Israel's interest, as reaching an agreement with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is far-fetched." Hamas could "act reasonably in accepting an equilibrium. I do not believe in agreements and grand ceremonies, but in a practical equilibrium of power. And in a realist sense, this is what could be expected from Hamas."
