Time to Promote Sovereignty in Gaza
Geoffrey Aronson
SETA Policy Brief, October 2010
Significant elements of Israel's foreign and defence policy system are
considering how to win international support for a second disengagement from
Gaza that will end Israel's status as an occupying power in the Gaza Strip,
occupied by Israel since June 1967. Israel's continuing control over Gaza's sea
and air corridors are recognized as sufficient to invest Israel with de facto
control over the territory in question, thus meeting the international standard
for the continuing characterization of Israel's role as an occupying power. The
"Lieberman Plan" aims at removing Israel's "effective control" over Gaza,
without compromising Israeli security or intruding upon its own sovereignty.
Under a post-occupation regime, Gaza should be able to trade and interact freely
with the world. Israel should be encouraged by the international community to
pursue this effort, even as US-led diplomacy continues. Turkey is well-placed to
play a leading role in this effort. The international community must, however,
establish its own benchmarks so that Israel will truly end its control over
Gaza, enabling Palestinians there to recover from the draconian trade
restrictions now in place and establishing the vital principals of Palestinian
independence and sovereignty.

The e-NASS, outnumbering 5100 subscribers, aims to deepen interaction for further inter/intra/trans/multi-disciplinary communication within the academic community of scholars, professionals and students from all branches of social sciences. The language of communication at e-NASS is English; however, contributions in other languages are highly welcomed should they include an abstract in English. This e-network enthusiastically encourages its members to disseminate and share announcements of Call for Papers, Fellowships/Scholarships, Conferences, Graduate Programs, Websites, Publications, Summer Schools, Jobs, Internships and etc. If you have any scholarly announcement concerning social sciences, please do not hesitate to share it within this e-community. The e-NASS is essentially generalist to revive renaissance wo/men with global and historical perspectives covering from the mist-shrouded steppes of Asia to the sun-drenched African, American and European shores without neglecting the exotic Oceania. In order to protect its subscribers vis-�-vis the virus-spreading, hoax and spam e-mails, the e-NASS is strictly moderated while e-mails containing attachments are automatically removed. This e-network discourages commercial advertisements as well as it is essentially irrelevant to any form of activism or advocacy of any particular perspective. Thus, messages of discussions, demonstrations and calls to action are not permitted. When forwarding e-NASS announcements to your friends and other e-groups, signifying e-NASS as the source will be highly appreciated as extent of your courtesy.
