With the Hamas
takeover of the Gaza Strip between 10 and 15 June 2007, the position of the
Palestinian Authority (PA) among other nations has changed dramatically. Israel, the EU, and the US have all
announced that they are resuming direct aid to the PA, now that it is
controlled by the Fatah party once again. They had terminated aid to the PA
after Hamas won the Prime Minister position and a Parliamentary majority in
early 2006. All of these world leaders have supported PA President Mahmoud
Abbas’s decision to fire Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh (of Hamas), disband the
government, name a new cabinet without Hamas members, and rule by emergency
decree. All have also expressed interest that some aid should go to the Gaza Strip
in addition to the Fatah-controlled West Bank, though through an intermediary
rather than directly to Hamas.

The Gaza Strip has recently witnessed unprecedented bloody
fighting between Hamas and Fatah movement, which has peaked with Hamas’
decision to show down the conflict militarily and the takeover of all
Palestinian security headquarters and sites and the seizure of complete control
over the Gaza Strip by its military wing—Izziddin al-Qassam Brigades. This
fighting has taken the lives of 146 Palestinians (36 of them are civilians),
including 5 children and 8 women, and has wounded at least 700 others.

For forty years now, racism and megalomania have dictated
our lives. Forty years during which more than four million people do not know
the meaning of freedom of movement. Forty years in which Palestinian children
are born and raised as prisoners in their homes that the Occupation converted
into a prison, deprived at the outset of all the rights that human beings are
entitled to because they are human.
