In Washington on February 2, the Middle East
Quartet of peace mediators promised the Palestinian people more of the same
devastating status quo, perpetuating their 40-year old Israeli occupation,
prolonging the international siege imposed on them, exacerbating their internal
divide, and thus cornering them into a situation that they can only shake off
either through civil war or unconditional surrender to the U.S.-backed
Israeli-dictated fait accompli, unless their national sense of accountability could
prevail to make mutual compromises into national consensus.

PCHR
strongly condemns the bloody events over the past three days, the worst of
their kind. These tragic events left 29 dead, including 7 civilians (incl. 3
women and 3 children), and more than 200 injured, half of them innocent
civilians. The Centre welcomes reaching another ceasefire between Hamas and
Fatah under Egyptian sponsorship Saturday evening. However, there is concern
over the continued state of tension, military deployment, sporadic gunfire, and
roadblocks in Gaza
City.
