\r\n\tQudsna, board of political comments:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tA first international conference for rebuilding Gaza started work in Cairo on Sunday in the presence of the diplomats of 30 countries and 20 international and regional bodies, co-chaired by the UN, Egypt (representing the Arab League) and Norway (representing the EU).<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tIndeed, the conference was imperative in light of the wide span of destruction left by the Zionist regime's aerial and ground attacks compounded by the approach of the cold season that risks the lives of over half a million people or a third of the Gaza population. It was even expected to be held earlier. Though imperative, there is some doubt however as to the political motives of some of those behind the initiative.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tEgypt apparently seeks to use the conference to lend legitimacy to the government of Abad al-Fatah al-Sisi who is challenged by the Muslim Brotherhood supporters as well as the Turkish government. The venue of the conference (Cairo) is then deliberatively chosen as Sharm al-Sheikh port city was usually the venue of any such initiatives before.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tThe UN, the US and the EU for their parts seek the common goal of reviving the ever failed talks between the Palestinian Authority and the Zionist regime and to push Hamas under its political umbrella.  The parties then are expected to meet their vows to Gaza as long as they meet the goal. Note that they have already failed to meet their belated vows during the previous Israeli war on Gaza in 2008 as they tied them to the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza and to see Hamas unarmed.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tNevertheless, there are signs that the Cairo conference may be more successful than previous similar initiatives as a unity deal between Hamas and Fatah has helped the Palestinian to turn into a conduit for international aid instead of its procrastinating policy in previous occasions that was adopted in fear the aid would further empower Hamas. The PA would also use the aid to meet some of its vows under the unity deal, including Hamas employers' salaries.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tA mixture of hope and fear then looms over the conference; one may pin hope in light of the strategic agreement between the two Palestinian parties while fear linger over the intention of some of those involved for manipulating the initiative for their goals that would otherwise risk the Palestinian national unity government.<\/p>\r\n
