Spokesperson’s letter to the Guardian

  •   Spokesperson’s letter to the Guardian in response to Harriet Sherwood’s article “Israel will launch significant Gaza offensive sooner or later”
  •    
    ​You report (28 December) warnings of a possible Israeli offensive on Gaza. In the three years since Operation Cast Lead, the effect is clear: there has been a 72% decline in the number of rockets launched from Hamas-controlled Gaza. However, that still amounts to 1,571 rockets launched. This is anything but “sporadic”. These attacks undermine the alleged “attempt by Hamas” to enforce a ceasefire among Gaza’s militant groups. Israel has the moral and legal right to protect its citizens.
