Gaza and the Peace Process
The attack on the flotilla headed for Gaza was not only a political catastrophe for the Israelis; it also underscored the tragedy of the situation in Gaza and the need for substantive progress to be made in the peace process.

The attack on the flotilla of humanitarian aid headed for Gaza was not only a political catastrophe for the Israelis; it also underscored the tragedy of the situation in Gaza and the weaknesses of both Gaza and Israel. Gaza does not have a government that is recognized by the international community and, Carnegie's Jessica Tuchman Mathews explained, the Israeli government is acting against its own best interests. “Hopefully this recent incident,” said Mathews, “will focus the international community's attention on the situation in Gaza.” She argued that the lack of progress in the peace process over the course of the last few years has proven unsustainable and now, more than ever, the Obama administration and the international community must work to assist the two parties in coming to a peaceful solution.
