There is not going to be a 'Palestine' now unless they want to rename Gaza, the Arabs were offered one 5 times since 1936. Nonsense. The article regards ICRC concerns, was not hand ringing, but reporting issues raised by a highly respected organisation. One can equally claim Israeli government is treating Gazan injured as bargaining chips. Why would local Arabs would wish to surrender their lands to Israel interests - has Israeli government committed to ceasing their Arab land grabs - so far as I know "No". Right now I cannot envisage an end to the Israeli / Palestinian conflict, unless there is change to governing bodies on both sides enabling a 'Two State" solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if that's so, it wouldn't be an issue (other than, perhaps, political) transferring babies or patient in critical conditions to Israeli hospitals. There's a;ready a contingent of Gazans receiving medical treatment in Israel that got 'stuck' there after 7/10. Article linked much earlier in topic. Yes I know Israel provides medical care for some Gazans. I was thinking of realties of survival of moving Intensive care patients. It has been reported some have already died due to lack of power for critical care babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hospital by the way is not under siege and the east side remains open for evacuations 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest Intl Red Cross would be an influencer in decision making and are held in respect by other substantive organisations. In the reports I read, the 'facilitated' bit was almost uniformly associated with 'transporting the released hostages to the border pass' (or something along these lines). Didn't see that they were party to negotiations or had much influence regarding such. And yes, my view of many aid organizations operating in the Gaza Strip is not a very favorable one. I do appreciate the conditions and restrictions they work under and the realities with which they need to contend, but still. Addressed some of this in somewhat more detail and scope on a parallel topic. There's a vested interest of everyone semi-involved in the hostages thing to come out as instrumental - a fine example would be Netanyahu's recently appointed man for the job (no qualifications, no diplomatic/people skills). Same thing with Egypt and Qatar trying to upstage each other as the main mediator. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without doubt Israel can largely destroy Hamas current 'fighters' and war making infrastructure, but the political and ideological - very doubtful - maybe end up as more like Palestine Islamic Jihad (est 1000 members) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also Israeli friendly fire from IDF/IAF to Israeli civilians with Merkava tanks and Apache helicopters." Yasmin Porat witnessed on Israel National Radio her experience from the Hamas attacks and the friendly fire of IDF/Israeli security forces. The 300 to 400 victims of the 1.200 (before 1.400) victims were IDF or Israeli police personnel. Yasmin Porat is not one of the 300 to 400...
