Gaza rising from the ashes: The cycle of construction and destruction:
EXCERPTS:
"Firas Masri, a political analyst and researcher, said that
Israel will benefit financially from the reconstruction of the city 'as
most of the material used to rebuild Gaza will come from Israeli
industries and they will be taxed by Israeli authorities as they enter
Gaza'”.

“In order to help rebuild Gaza, we have to reunite Gaza with the West Bank and become one economy, one government and policy. We cannot expect the international community to be motivated to help Gaza. So what we need is simply one government, one unity government which supervises, implements, mobilises plans for reconstruction in Gaza,” Naser Abdel Karim, the professor, said. “We cannot continue reconstructing the economy and infrastructure with our and international money. And then Israel comes and demolishes the infrastructure and the economy every couple of years. This is a cycle that needs to end.”
