(by Andrea Pinto) In Gaza there is no drinking water, in many areas there is no longer electricity and the sewers, the few existing ones and built with modern criteria, have been skipped. The Palestinian civilian population is exhausted as the workers of the Israeli electricity company refuse to work to help restore utilities. The UN Security Council last night voted a ceasefire. A feeble mediation is being attempted in these hours by Egypt. Meanwhile, Tel Aviv has announced that in exchange for electricity in Gaza it wants back the bodies of two soldiers killed in the war 7 years ago, the end of the Hamas bombings and the construction of tunnels towards Israeli villages. In the light of a change of course by Hamas, the entry of humanitarian aid could be favored, the granting of the green light for the resumption of disbursements by Qatar.
However, Israeli minister Tzahi Hanegbi warned: "We no longer accept the calm formula for calm, now we demand that Hamas give up rebuilding the arsenals, otherwise we will resume the attacks".
Corsera reports the story raised by the German foreign minister Heiko Maas which showed a armed drone of explosives and accused i Iranian Pasdaran of having telepiloted it from Syria into the Beit Shean area. Opposition leader Yair Lapid, in this regard, wanted to emphasize: "We cannot afford to ignore Joe Biden. We will need American support in the face of Gaza's biggest challenges: Iran's atomic program and expansionism".
Joe Biden yesterday said, not surprisingly, that the US will work alongside Egypt to restore calm in the area. He then added that aid will arrive in Gaza via Egypt.
Massimiliano D'Elia in one of his analyzes, reported below, he dealt with the question of the possible involvement of the Iranian ultra-conservative wing headed by the spiritual leader al Khemenei, in the war that broke out on 11 May last. A war that is cooling down these days as the return of the US to the nuclear agreement with Iran in 2015 would also be cooling: “Israel under the declared threat of Iran to raze it with the atomic bomb (if anything, one day it will be able to dispose it), as seen, did not stand by and watch. The work in progress in Vienna for the return to the US nuclear deal, which also favored a relaxation of trade sanctions on Iran, left Israeli historical allies surprised. On June 18, a couple of billion Iranians stored abroad will be released to help Tehran's economy, a move by the US to show attention to re-entering the terms of the JCPOA agreement. To Israel but also to the intransigent Iranian wing, under the leadership of al Khamenei, unfavorable to the opening up to the Western world and to the US re-entry of the nuclear deal, there was nothing left but to create a diversion by favoring the escalation between Hamas and Tel Aviv. The motivation for the recent conflict, the eviction of some settlers in the Gaza Strip, is too inconsistent. In this way, Israel achieved a twofold result: freezing the Vienna JCPOA talks and killing other senior Hamas officials with greater ease. This time around the terrorist group Hamas has become a means of persuasion in foreign policy to redirect complex issues in a more favorable sense for Tel Aviv."
