(MEMRI) Col. (ret.) Yigal Carmon - On Jan. 18, NBC reported that new U.S. Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff said: "If we don't help the Gazans, if we don't make their life better, if we don't give them a sense of hope, there's going to be a rebellion." But what he needs to know is that before Oct. 7, 2023, Gaza was thriving economically. Hamas was willing to sacrifice all of this in pursuit of its goal of annihilating Israel and the Jews. MEMRI's reports on Gaza prior to Oct. 7 present videos, photos and data on life in Gaza from non-Israeli media sources. They provide a picture of Gaza's residential areas and tower blocks, its universities, health facilities and hospitals, its banks and financial institutions, its malls and markets, its recreation facilities such as the water park, music center, and zoo. It also presented data on standards of living, income, and infrastructure such as a water desalination plant. The writer, former counter-terrorism advisor to two Israeli prime ministers, is founder and president of the Middle East Media Research Institute.
