WATCH LIVE: State Department holds news briefing amid Israel-Palestinian fighting
PBS NewsHourMAY 2023
Bloodshed is a regular occurrence as Gazans agitate against the occupation, the abuse of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention, and the suffocating siege under which they live. Two million people remain under indefinite Israeli land, sea, and air blockade with tight control over the movement of people and goods. The cruelty must end.
The expression, "you reap what you sow," comes to mind when observing incidents like this in Gaza. Though the loss of life is always a tragedy, it would be wise for Gaza's leaders to moderate their incredibly militaristic actions toward Israel, and perhaps the situation could improve.
