Egypt can provide a way out of the Gaza nightmare
Ezzedine C. Fishere is a distinguished fellow at Dartmouth College and a former Egyptian and U.N. diplomat. As images and reports of starvation accumulate, ceasefire negotiations come and go, and the international community convenes conferences and issues statements that quickly dissolve into irrelevance, Gaza's future remains suspended between a real threat of annihilation and the illusion of perpetual armed resistance.

Palestinian Recognition Is a Political Gesture, Not a Strategy
Britain and France, the two countries most responsible for Israel's creation, are set to punish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government for their abuses in Gaza by recognizing a Palestinian State. Will it make a blind bit of difference to suffering in the strip, or bring the creation of a Palestinian state any closer? Probably not. These decisions are not as they're being sold. They aren't considered foreign policy measures, crafted to push Israel's government to end the war, flood Gaza with food and medical aid, and kickstart a political process that would give hope for a future settlement. Suspending military aid to Israel might possibly help with that. Threatening to recognize a state of Palestine won't.
