There is a speedy escalation building up around the Gaza Strip - Israeli assassinations on the West Bank entailing retaliation by mortars and missiles from the Gaza Strip. Generals already speek of “the need to bombard residential areas” and Kadima ministers speak of the need to create inside the Gaza Strip “a security zone” i.e. razing to the ground buildings and trees.
Gush Shalom wrote in it’s weekly ad in Ha’aretz: “There is a lurking suspicion that [the escalation] is influenced by the election considerations of Ariel Sharon and Shaul Mofaz”.

The government should stop all offensive action of the Israeli army, including assassinations, arrests and incursion, and demand that the Palestinians also stop all offensive actions, including Qassam rockets and mortar shells - says Gush Shalom.
