  • The Gaza Strip: Access Report May 2005

    The Gaza Strip: Access Report May 2005

    The Gaza Strip: Access Report May 2005 This report monitors monthly humanitarian access and movement in the Gaza Strip.1 All movement through the Gaza Strip’s borders is controlled by Israeli authorities. A security fence surrounds all of the Gaza Strip and sea access is restricted. Palestinian movement in and out of the Gaza Strip is through: • Erez crossing for workers and merchants who have permits to enter Israel; • Erez crossing for international humanitarian organisations; • Rafah crossing, between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, for access to other countries, including for overseas medical referrals; • Four commercial crossings of which Karni is the largest. Palestinian movement within the Gaza Strip is restricted: • through Abu Houli checkpoint in the central Gaza Strip; • by over 200 observed closure obstacles; • for Palestinians living in enclaves in close proximity to Israeli settlements.2 1. Gaza Strip Crossing Points A. Erez crossing and industrial estate Between January and March, there was a steady increase in the number of Palestinian workers and merchants entering Israel and the Erez industrial zone. This trend ended following the closure at Erez with the onset of the Jewish Passover holidays in the third week of April. The closure continued until 15 May for Palestinian workers and merchants, and 16 May for access to Erez industrial zone. This closure was imposed on the grounds that some workers had been submitting false documents while trying to leave the Gaza Strip. Restrictions continue on international humanitarian organisations who need prior coordination with Israeli authorities to enter and leave the Strip. A few high-level Palestinian UN staff are permitted to cross.

  • Hamas from Resistance to Government?

    Hamas from Resistance to Government?

    from Resistance to Government ? Hamas From Resistance to Government? by Paola Caridi Translated by Andrea Teti Copyright © Feltrinelli, 2009, 2010 English translation copyright © PASSIA, 2010 BACK COVER What lies behind the mystery of Hamas? This book provides a first-hand investigation into the movement, with original interviews and a fresh look at the reasons behind the consensus Hamas receives from across the Palestinian political spectrum. Established in 1987 as a resistance organization against the Israeli occupation, Hamas has used terrorism and suicide attacks, it has challenged Yasser Arafat's authority, it has survived the death of many of its leaders. In 2006 it was democratically elected by the majority of the Palestinian people to become part of the PNA government. What lies behind the mystery of Hamas? Why has an Islamist movement gained so much recognition among a basically secular people such as the Palestinians? And why has it not melted away like snow in the sun when the entire West isolated it from the rest of the world? Events have shown that Palestinian political Islam cannot be considered a passing phenomenon, nor is it the product of a single cause: be it the birth of Israel, the occupation of Palestinian land, or the lack of a true Palestinian state. Asking these questions also means providing answers to what has been documented by the news in recent years: the internal division of Palestinians, the desperation of life in Gaza, the lack of a realistic prospect for peace between Israelis and Palestinians in the near future. Paola Caridi’s book tells the story of Hamas using a combination of news and archival sources, describing settings, and giving voice to its protagonists.
