Contrary to what the public thinks and what the media tells itself and the public, Hamas may control about one-third of Gaza’s territory, but the blockade that Israel is imposing on the Strip gives Israel a stake in the future of Gaza’s residents
A mass funeral was held in Gaza City Tuesday of 112 people whose bodies – or, more precisely, skeletal remains – were recovered from under the rubble of a residential block that was hit by an Israeli airstrike early in the war, on November 22, 2023. But make no mistake, the killing in the Strip continues: more than 20 people were killed last weekend alone. The recovery efforts are still underway.
