(Do most Palestinians in Gaza support the rocket attacks against Israel?) Most believe it’s a good response to daily Israeli actions in Palestine. (What’s motivating Palestinian leaders to take such actions?) They say they have no other choices. They say they have agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the Egyptians but Israel didn’t agree to that. So they have to defend themselves and use all aspects to defend. (So have you spoken with Palestinians who are concerned about an Israeli response?) Yes, there were demonstrations today and calling on the international community to not let Israel do this. (How bad is the humanitarian situation in Gaza?) it’s been very bad since Israel decided to close all key crossings including the one which closed all humanitarian assistance into Gaza.
