With regard to the Gaza blockade, Gazans are seen to be blamed for Hamas who may be controlled by others, this fact unrecognised by Israelis who are pursuing diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia. Hamas are believed to have Egyptian connections. Tunnels have been discovered between Gaza and Egypt. Were hamas members coerced or approached in some way?
In world terms, domination either by east or by west is apparent in many areas. The blue and white party seemingly like to know the east, Likud the west. Western influence in Samaria may not be straight forward as the east in Gaza.
