@ajstream How much do the citizens on each side want to see this end ASAP? Particularly, are there Palestinian civilians who want to fight?
@AJStream what solutions are being offered by the Israeli government as part of a peace deal?
@ajstream Can any Gaza based journos confirm use of white phosphorous against people of Gaza during the last week?
@mmbilal @AJStream can you highlight the escalation of military arrests in the #westbank simultaneously, the crushing of protests by the #PA
Who benefits the most from an Israel-Hamas ceasefire?
@AJEnglish @ajstream who benefits most? The innocent people caught in the cross fire. Too many dead children. #shame #futilewar
@mmbilal @AJStream Egypt, the last thing Morsi wants is a ground invasion in Gaza. He's already tackling with domestic issues.
Will the new govts in the Middle East after the Arab Spring bring about a faster end to the Israel-Gaza conflict than in 2008/09?
@AJStream It will be more complicated. States must negotiate popular opinion against Israel with previous US-aligned policy. A new addition.
How is the current conflict between Israel and Hamas different from the last one in 2008-2009?
@SamKhan999 @AJStream I think media is having a major impact as well. Social media is allowing much more diverse information to get out
@AJStream Much greater media coverage. No ground invasion yet.
