Hamas-led militants’ surprise offensive deep into Israeli-controlled territory around Gaza has again focused the world’s attention on the 75-year-old perpetual conflict between Jews and Palestinians. Amid the crisis, it’s worth reexamining the history of the Palestinians’ quest for statehood, obstacles standing in the way, and options available.
It has been a known fact that Hamas backed by common Palestinians is ever so ready to eke out revenge and demolish the Jewish State of Israel for decades now and has had four large scale skirmishes and wars with greater vengeance each time. This time, such an unprecedented escalation also has the potential of spiralling out of control if Hezbollah and others join in, and it will happen again until and unless a legitimate solution of the underlying causes are duly and honourably addressed, observes Amb. Anil Trigunayat, former Indian Ambassador to Jordan, Libya and Malta.
UNITED NATIONS, United States: Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said Thursday (Friday in Manila) there could be no peace in the Middle East without a two-state solution, sending a warning as Saudi Arabia considers recognizing Israel.
