Gaza Strip
With four months to go to the regional elections in France, the French President is to visit three suburbs to the north of Paris today in order to highlight the main themes of the election campaign: security and immigration.
The Week in the Middle East looks at the increasing religious influence on the IDF, follow Palestinians trying to leave the Gaza strip and examine what Barrack Obama has achieved in the Middle East.
In this edition: no election in sight in Hamas-ruled Gaza; the battle for water between Israel and Palestine; anger boils over in Iraq after string of attacks; and the mystery man at the heart of a diplomatic row between France and Iran.
Amnesty international accuses Israel of depriving Palestine of water and mobilises net users; the web stands divided over Barack Obama’s planned education reform; and net users are invited to ask questions to Nobel Prize winners on Youtube.
Mohammed Dahlan, member of the Fatah Central Committee and former security chief in the Gaza strip was also born in a refugee camp in Khan younes. He answers France 24 questions.
Nine months later the Gaza war still rages on, not so much on the ground as in the corridors of power.
