Now that the guns and missiles have ceased creating havoc in Gaza, Israel stands in position to exert control in the region, I contend.
The issue to my mind is for Israel to alight upon a controlling security force among the Palestinian area inhabitants. It could be composed of Hamas-militants and social workers who are sympathetic to ending any further conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. In a recent program on CNN, some reporters on the Gaza scene claim there are such designates.
Perhaps a more promising tact, is to accept the Hamas recommendation that there be international monitors positioned in Gaza, and perhaps, on the West Bank, to assure no further unprovoked clashes occur between the two sides, Since Egypt brokered this particular cease-fire, selecting the Egyptians seems quite natural. Additionally, this force could be sizable, sufficiently so, to assure Israel of no further hostile stockpiling of weaponry that might threaten the peace.
In any case, I appeal to Israel to take advantage of its unique present position to influence the political and military affairs transpiring in Palestinian occupied lands.
