Periodically tensions rises between Israel and Syria. Bush has enough
problems in Iraq and looks worryingly on developments between the two countries,
but Sharon may have other ideas. Yossi Schwartz looks at where this situation
may lead.
More than 150,000 people took part in a mass demonstration in Tel Aviv on
May 15, that called on the government to pull out of Gaza and start peace talks.
Ironically Sharon, who failed to get his plan accepted by his own party, the
Likud, has found support among the Zionist left. Yossi Schwartz in Jerusalem
explains this apparent contradiction.
Thousands of residents from the southern Gaza town of Rafah, home to 140,000
people, have fled their homes in recent days, fearing that the Israeli army will
demolish their homes as the army of occupation continues to terrorize the people
of Gaza. Far from withdrawing, the Israeli army is now trying to crush the
Palestinian people.
