1993 - 2005: PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
For a time, promising peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders made the future of Gaza look somewhat hopeful.
Following the Oslo accords — a set of agreements between Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat that laid the groundwork for a two-state solution — control of Gaza was handed to the fledgling Palestinian Authority.
But the optimism was short lived. A series of Palestinian suicide attacks by Hamas militants, the 1995 assassination of Rabin by a Jewish ultranationalist opposed to his peacemaking and the election of Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister the following year all hindered U.S.-led peace efforts. Another peace push collapsed in late 2000 with the eruption of the second Palestinian uprising.
As the uprising fizzled in 2005, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon led a unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, uprooting all of Israel’s troops and roughly 9,000 settlers in a move that bitterly divided Israel.

And I remember all those things as well, now You've reminded me. Those years were a period of great unrest there. One wonders what would have happened if the assassination had been foiled and Rabin had lived. 🥺
Thank you, too, for using AP & Reuters btw. Much appreciated
From the article:
"Israel has imposed a complete siege on Gaza, preventing the entrance of food, water and fuel — a move that has created a catastrophic humanitarian situation. As the Israeli military gears up for a ground invasion and pledges to topple Hamas, the futures of Gaza and its 2.3 million Palestinians look uncertain."
This is the crux of it, IMHO. Between airstrikes, missiles and slowly starving the people in Gaza, Israel has made itself into very nearly a pariah among the civilized nations. The more people become aware of what has been happening, the more support there will be for the people living in Gaza or -conversely - the less support there will be for Israel. It went way past revenge for the 1200 a long time ago, and it became obvious early on that Bibi didn't really care whether the hostages were released or not. If they were killed, it would be more political ammo for him with the people of Israel - half of whom were ready to toss him out before Oct.7 because of his autocratic tendencies.

Both Egypt and Israel imposed an embargo on the Palestinians. It was due to the obvious bellicose nature of Hamas and their attacks on civilians.
I didn't see Israel telling the US what to do when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. The US did what they needed to do with the bombing of Japan and their surrender.

80 years on, one could hope that we had learned from history.
Sadly there are too many who haven't.
