World Press on crisis in Gaza (November 15, 2012)

"Rocket Attacks and Airstrikes Resume in Gaza Conflict" is an article
published today by the New York Times.
"Israel and Hamas widened their increasingly deadly conflict over Gaza
on Thursday, as a militant rocket killed three civilians in an
apartment block in this small southern town. The deaths are likely to
lead Israel to intensify its military offensive on Gaza, now in its
second day of airstrikes. In Gaza, the Palestinian death toll rose to
11 as Israel struck what the military described as medium- and
long-range rocket and infrastructure sites and rocket-launching
squads."
According to the author of the article "…the Israeli attacks further
complicated Israel’s fragile relations with Egypt, where the
Islamist-led government of Mr. Morsi, reversing a policy of Mr.
Mubarak’s, had established closer ties with Hamas and had been acting
as a mediator to restore calm between Israel and militant groups in
Gaza."
" Egyptian president condemns Israel's 'aggression' in Gaza" is an
article published today by the Guardian.
"The peace treaty between Egypt and Israel now looks increasingly
fragile, following the ousting of Hosni Mubarak in February last year,
and as the violent confrontation between Hamas and Israel worsens,"
the author of the article writes.
"Qatar, Jordan, Iran and Syria all condemned the Israeli operation on
Thursday. It amounts to the most serious fighting between Israel and
Hamas for four years. William Hague, the British foreign secretary,
blamed Hamas and said it bore "principal responsibility for the
current crisis". He also urged Israel to reduce tensions and avoid
civilian casualties. On Wednesday the Obama administration
unequivocally backed Israel and said it had a right to self-defence,"
the article concludes.
