Israel has no intention’ of withdrawing from Gaza – Gideon Levy
Gideon Levy, a columnist with Israeli newspaper Haaretz, says an Israeli ceasefire – like the one currently underway in Lebanon – is “impossible” for Gaza.
“Unlike in Lebanon, in Gaza Israel has no intention to evacuate the Gaza Strip,” Levy said.
“The northern part of Gaza is now totally in ruins and I don’t see a situation in which Palestinians will be allowed to get back to the northern part of Gaza – so the future looks much more problematic in Gaza than in Lebanon,” he said.
“The Americans were very clear about the deal in Lebanon, I’m not sure they will be so devoted about Gaza, especially not in the coming weeks until the new president gets into office,” he added
