The U.S. aid to allocate $ 47 million for Gaza

The United States has allocated $ 47 million for the humanitarian situation of the population of Gaza. The announcement was made by Secretary of State, John Kerry, during a visit to Cairo to meet with the Secretary of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon, and Egyptian representatives engaged in difficult negotiations to reach a cease-fire between the Israeli army and Hamas. The U.S. funds will be directed to the reconstruction of housing, food supplies and medicines; a portion of the $ 47 million, 15 million, will go to the United Nations for Palestinian refugees, who had initially requested an amount of approximately $ 60 million, to remedy the situation of the more than 100,000 displaced people in the strip Gaza because of the Israeli bombing. The personal commitment of the U.S. administration in favor of Gaza, publicly announced together with the Secretary of the UN, can play a complaint to the Israeli action, the U.S. considered exaggerated in different environments, but at the same time, it also seems a sort of repair belated and inadequate for not being able to stop the military escalation that has caused more than 500 deaths among Palestinians, most of them civilians. The appropriation of the sum in favor of the inhabitants of Gaza, can be a clear signal to the aggressive policy of Israel, with whom the Obama administration has always been at odds. Tel Aviv took advantage of the need for the U.S. to preserve the relationship with Israel for the sake of regional geopolitics and even domestic politics, but he never liked the action of the executive Netanyahu, who has never actively participated in peace talks on such as the commitment of Kerry and the availability of Abu Mazen, are never missed. In this time of crisis, Washington believes it is not appropriate to criticize the work of Israeli armed forces opened and did not go beyond general calls for a ceasefire. In fact, the U.S. diplomatic activity takes place behind the scenes, with a greater confidence in order not to offend the sensibilities of Tel Aviv; The White House does not approve the demonstration of force put on the field, which appears exaggerated, at a time of particular tension throughout the Middle East. The U.S. fear that the effects of the earth are the ones to raise the favors towards Islamic fundamentalism. Hamas, which no longer enjoys the favors of the population, could be bypassed in their positions by the increasingly influential caliphate that is being formed by the dissolution of the Iraqi and Syrian territories, characterized by a fundamentalism that exceeds even Al Qaeda. The plan of economic aid to Gaza could be the first step in a U.S. operation time politically to emphasize the gap with the Tel Aviv government. Israel now silent on the U.S. measure, but it is easy to think that does not like the rain of millions of dollars that will arrive in Gaza to restore what has destroyed his army; definitely part of Israeli society that can be seen as an affront, and for those who are against the harsh retaliation fielded by Netanyahu, the U.S. measure could be a starting point for establishing new relations between the two states. Do not forget that for Obama, the two-state solution, which provided for the establishment of a Palestinian state was, and still is, a primary goal of his electoral program. Despite the setbacks and the situation that has evolved in a manner so serious, just the achievement of the birth of Palestine as a state entity is probably the best deterrent to manifestations of violence more or less severe in the region. If Obama will not fail to aid the Israelis, could usher in a season of funding for humanitarian purposes, which may also evolve in aid to the economy of the Gaza Strip, particularly suffering from the isolation imposed by Israel. Uplift the living conditions of the inhabitants of the strip could bring well-being and lower the need to do violent acts, even with a change of political leadership in order to take off in Tel Aviv the pretext with which historically justify its military actions against the population Gaza.
