The same things that are always happening continue to happen in Israel, Gaza and Palestine. I was however a little surprised by an interview i watched on the bbc news website this morning with the London Ambassador to Israel. Now this is a man who said as soon as he got here that it was his intention to garner as much support as possible for Israel in the UK as possible and we can see the effects of this statement already begin to take effect as press manipulation and marketing of the Israeli cause works overtime. However, if we step back and look pass this to his interview whilst some things show the were right there wrong side of the Israeli argument it also shows the simplicity to the path of peace for Gaza. The ambassador put it very simply indeed, if Hamas were to stop the rockets tomorrow then there would be absolutely no need for the Israelis to go into Gaza at all. If Hamas were to stop all rocket attacks then Israel could drop the blockade of the Gaza strip.
So it is simple why not start with just one goal between Gaza and Israel, complete ceasefire from the Gazan rocket attacks, and in return Israel will not launch a single attack or incursion against Gaza.After two weeks of this, the blockade could be relax somewhat in order to allow vital supplies into the country. All preparation for the transfer of supplies into Gaza could be done in the two week period so that as soon as the time came they could immediately roll into Gaza encouraging a further extension of two weeks. As each two week period is reached, more could be given to the Gazan people.
Perhaps by the end of the second two week period, a number of preselected cases from Gazan hospitals could be transported to Israel for treatment.
Perhaps by the end of the third two week period the UN could look at going in to fix and run the power facilities in Gaza and perhaps engage in projects to build biomass head power units to provide localised energy to the homes and businesses in the areas although hospitals should most likely be done first.

A sadly simplistic approach that assumes everything starts and finishes with the rocket attacks.
Yes, it would be lovely if it were all that simple .. but what triggers the rocket attacks in the first place? The answer to that isn’t nothing.
Like all peace processes, it takes significant concessions on BOTH sides to make the first move realistic – and simply saying, we will do this if you stop the rocket attacks isn’t realistic … because it doesn’t address what is triggering the rocket attacks in the first place.
