What is actually left of Gaza?
Because foreign journalists are banned from entering Gaza to cover the war - apart from a few escorted visits a long time ago - it's impossible to know how much of Gaza is actually left. Is there any building in the whole of the Strip which has not in some form or other been scarred by bombs and bullets or destroyed? The two milion people of Gaza are living as displaced people in tents. The only images we get of the tiny territory show World War 11-type destruction. But there must be some areas which are relatively untouched? Is this possible? Israel is now embarking on a new ground offensive to find Hamas and the remaining hostages which will mean more destruction, and one has to ask, when it's all over, if that ever happens, what on earth is the world going to do about rebuilding Gaza? Will Israel even allow it or will Benjamin Netanyahu decide it's in Israel's interest to keep Gaza as a place of rubble so that Hamas cannot reinvent itself and go back to threatening Israelis. If this is the case, then the population of Gaza, what's left of it, will have to be found new homes. There is already talk of countries offering to take Palestinians from Gaza. Mossad chief David Barnea is supposed to have had discussions with Ethiopia, Indonesia and Libya. Really? Is this honestly the answer? Does anyone ever mention the two-state solution any more? This has clearly died a death. Right now, there is no future for the Palestinian people.
