About This Blog
Since the 2006 Palestinian Parliamentary elections, Israel and the United States have led a campaign of international sanctions against Hamas and the elected Palestinian government. This campaign was increased since June, 2007 when Hamas assumed control of Gaza. Since then, Gaza has been almost completely cut off from the outside world.
