This past week sporadic rocket fire attacking the western Negev continued. The IDF responded by striking terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip. On the political and propaganda level, the Palestinian Authority continues making preparations for its move in the United Nations, which is expected to be accompanied by “popular activity” on the ground.
This past week the Palmer Report was issued, revealing the findings of the UN Panel of Inquiry into the events aboard the Mavi Marmara. It stated unequivocally that Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip was a legitimate security measure which was compatible with international law. Israel approved the Report, while Turkey rejected it and announced it would pursue steps to penalize Israel. Hamas, the Palestinian Authority and the PLO rushed to denounce the Report and praise the Turkish position.
