Gaza victim of the situation in Egypt
Government action Mursi, first, and the new government instituted after the shot was military, after he seriously damaged the already weakened economy of the Gaza Strip. It is estimated that about eighty percent of the tunnel under the Sinai, through which passed through the goods essential to the life of the Palestinian population, have been destroyed to prevent terrorist attacks against Egyptian forces. The rise in prices on basic necessities and shortages of fuel and miscellaneous supplies you are already recording abundantly, contributing to raising social tension in the territory administered by Hamas. The worsening humanitarian conditions, a result of the aggravation of the economy, thus risks becoming a dangerous detonator in a situation to be always on the verge of the abyss. Despite the easing of restrictive measures imposed by Israel on transits incoming and outgoing goods, the population of Gaza, which is about 1.7 million people, suffer from a difficult economic situation, which has led to an unemployment rate of around to 32%. It is estimated that the demolition of the galleries resulted in a cost on the economy of the strip of about 175 million euro, equivalent to 10% of GDP. At this time Gaza feels crushed by both parties, if Israel is the historical enemy, the action of Egypt, intensified by the military, a pressure is hardly tolerable. The new Egyptian government is likely to be put on a par with Israel, even for contacts between Tel Aviv and Cairo, that resumed after the fall of Mursi. It is not excluded that some behind the demolition of the galleries there is an agreement just between the two governments, which aim to suppress the movement of terrorists from the Gaza Strip. However, this mode of struggle against militants, is not matched by adequate support to the local economy, so as to mitigate the impact on the population. This short-sighted policy is likely to cause a new wave of rebellion, which could result in armed actions against the Israeli nation, compromising the hard restart the peace process, for which the U.S. administration is spending so much. It is therefore to ease the economic pain of the strip with the opening of new routes for the transit of goods, which must be released in a total manner by Israeli restrictions. From Tel Aviv expects a radical change of attitude, even as a manifestation of good will for the resumption of negotiations, also for the Israelis to soften their hardness would also be an investment on its national security and the need to strengthen the troops on the southern border, at a time of high tension caused by the civil war in Syria. More complicated and less clear the situation in Egypt: with the country on the brink of civil war, the new government can not deal with the needs of the strip to safeguard their security. The traffic of terrorists who say they are ready to fight on the side of the Muslims, is a very significant problem for the Egyptian armed forces, however some signal tended to alleviate the severe economic situation caused by the destruction of the tunnel, it would be desirable to release the tension that is mounting in Gaza also against the Egyptian country.
