Tony Blair, and the Arab League may be able to negotiate a lasting peace in the Middle East, but with Hamas blocking the only crossing out of the Gaza Strip that does not pass through Israel, then stating that should the Israelis open their border crossing, as a Humanitarian gesture, it would be treated as a military target, i am somewhat sceptical.
Via news.bbc.com
The governor of North Sinai said he had funds to feed 3,000 Palestinians for three days and the Egyptian Red Crescent has promised food aid for a further 10 days, the French news agency reported.
Many of the Palestinians have no money to pay for food or lodging and are staying in mosques or sleeping in the open.
The Rafah crossing is the only way in or out of Gaza that does not pass through Israel - although when it is open the Israeli authorities monitor traffic electronically.
Israel has said another crossing into Gaza from its territory could be used, but Hamas has said it will treat that crossing as a military target if it is used.
Pray that statesman Blair and the rest of the Arab League can make a difference.
