In the Palestinian Al-Ayam ; it's the old Trojan horse trick. In the siege of Gaza, Israel bears the gift of oil.
By Mahraqi in Bahrain's Akhbar Al-Khaleej

"Don't be too moved by humanitarian considerations when allowing our brothers to occupy our own land." -- Abdallah Kamal, Rose El-Youssef

"It is Egypt's responsibility to categorically reject any Israeli policy based on besieging the Palestinian people and turning Gaza into a prison." -- Makram Mohamed Ahmed, Al-Ahram

"The two fighting factions have succeeded in what all Israeli terrorist leaders have failed in. They just looked on as their people escaped from Gaza." -- Wahid Abdel-Meguid, Al-Wafd

"The Arabs, who have failed to unite or agree, are leaving their most pressing issues for others to resolve them." -- Ezzeddin Darwish, Tishreen

"The problem is that no government in the world will be able to provide services for citizens in Gaza, but Hamas insists on doing so all the same." -- Adel Mahmoud, Al-Kifah Al-Arabi

"Blaming Hamas and holding it responsible for the blockade would give Israel the green light to carry on its unfair and criminal blockade on the pretext that this is what others are doing." -- Hamad Al-Majed, Asharq Al-Awsat
