Summary:
Hamas is unable to import a decent amount of fuel causing
the citizens to suffer a shortage of gas supply and constant power outages. Due
to the electricity supply there have been sewage failures causing it to travel
to the Mediterranean Sea. The Gaza strip is taking a huge toll on their
economy. Due to Egypt’s decision to close the tunnels, Hamas has been importing
fuel from Israel. Hamas is not suffering as much as Gaza from the closing of
the tunnels. Gaza’s economy has been “deteriorating.” Hamas leaders are worried
that the rebellious social network movement will cause a widespread protest. In
order to increase Egypt’s pressure to once again open the tunnels is to
increase the threat of violence towards Israel. By doing so, it will cause
attention to be placed upon Gaza again. The situation may escalate into a
military clash by next month if things do not change.
Analysis:
The Conflict between Egypt and Hamas are quickly escalating.
The Gaza strip is causing more issues than intended. Before, Hamas was deciding
between two options, but recently they could not make their decision due to another
conflict that has occurred. They are more than likely going to be forced to
take military action as well as Gaza. The social network protests are the most
affective because other countries will be aware of the situation as well.
Between Gaza, Egypt, and Hamas it is unclear who will rise above the
altercation. From what we know, Gaza and Hamas are suffering the most. Will
they form an alliance or will they individually handle their own problems? They
logical thing right now would be to confront Egypt and it’s government.
