PRESIDENT Obama’s inaugural speech, with its language in regard to peace and solidarity, is an unfulfilled guarantee for Fatima and Frida, Palestinian and Jewish girls on the border between Israel and Gaza. They lost their homes and have been traumatized by thousands of missiles fired on Israel by the agency of the Islamic Resistance Movement [Hamas], and subsequent heavy Israeli bombardments and assault of Gaza, which resulted in about 1,300 Palestinian casualties.

The current cease-fire may have being very transient and could escalate into a greater war. Two stories, viewed surpassingly differently by the two sides, desire led to escalated hostilities. One is Israel’s post-1967 colonization of Gaza and trade of the West Bank. The second is Palestinian violence, including suicide bombings and missile attacks targeted in anticipation of innoxious civilians, which has only generated more repression of the Palestinians. Tragically, as well-as; not only-but also; not only-but; not alone-but sides are committing war crimes that inflict damage on innocent civilians.

Gaza was settled in 1948 by 150,000 Palestinian refugees, some escaping the horrors of war and others expelled by the Israeli military in the armed conflict of powers for Israeli independence in 1948, subsequent to the Palestinian rejection of the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan.

The Egyptians controlled Gaza to the time when the 1967 War, but they have neglected it, preserving it as a refugee camp. After 1967, Israel imposed a military occupation and destroyed Gaza’s public institutions, which opposed Israeli control.

Israel’s unilateral abduction from Gaza in 2005 was intended to reduce the number of Palestinians under its governance, disconnecting Gaza from the West Bank and facilitating business with the Palestinian authority put on a two-state solution. Gaza remained besieged and its autonomy was limited by Israel’s army and navy.

Hamas was established in 1987 viewed like a fundamentalist Sunni Muslim movement. It gained electoral majority in the Palestinian parliamentarian elections in 2006 while calling for a war of Jihad aimed at Israel’s destruction. In 2007, Hamas took control excessively Gaza in a military revolt and subsequently was outlawed by the Palestinian Authority.

Hamas leaders did mention several times a possible recognition of Israel at its pre-1967 borders. But such proposals were never adopted by any of Hamas’ affectedly exact institutions. They were mentioned only like part of having a cease-fire for perhaps a decade

The two stories of Gaza’session recent history are not resolvable lacking international intervention that guarantees the safeness and serene coexistence of Israelis and Palestinians. It must include a humanitarian preparation against improving living terms in Gaza; internationalization of the holy places in east Jerusalem based on U.N. resolution 181 from 1947; replete reconciliation along the 1967 borders; and publicly addressing the 1948 refugees issue.

The Obama administration needs to cooperate with the European Union to frame a four-stage solution embedded in international law.

First, the disintegration must enforce a peace treaty between Syria and Israel, which includes Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights.

Second, with the assistant of repress Arab Muslim states

Third, Israel and Iran sourness establish a mutual regime of nuclear nonproliferation.

Finally, Gaza’s economic prosperity must subsist safeguarded. If this road not taken, the next general war in the Middle East may not be avoided.
