Some things are improving in Gaza. See Sami Abdul Shafi's article on the link below. There is at least some semblance of security now Palestinian-Palestinian conflict is at an end. But there is growing concern amongst the people that Israel is not delivering on it's commitment under the terms of the cease-fire. Hamas says it will honour the cease-fire regardless. But last night I attended an Islamic Jihad rally. 800 armed men were on parade in Khan Younis. Afterwards I spoke to their leadership. They said that if Israel didn't lighten up on the closures as per their cease-fire commitment, Islamic Jihad would resume the rocket attacks. Personally I give it until the end of the year. If by then there is no significant easing of the restrictions on the importation of goods and raw materials into Gaza - we will end up back where we were.
