/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Israel is wrapping up its campaign in the Gaza
Strip. On the one hand, it seems the Jewish state can celebrate
victory. On the other hand, it could avoid constant bombardment from
a hostile entity, an Armenian expert said.
"On August 22, 2005, evacuation of Netzarim, the last Jewish settlement
in Gaza, was described as a security measure. The events that followed
can be a good lesson for Armenia and a warning that it’s impossible to
achieve peace in exchange of territories," orientalist Suren Manukyan
told PanARMENIAN.Net.
"Evacuation of Jewish settlements from Gaza brought neither peace nor
security. On the contrary, it made Israel more vulnerable and played in
Hamas’ hands. The enemy took this step as demonstration of weakness and
continued bombing Israeli territories more fiercely. The East doesn’t
have respect for the weak. We should have understood this long ago,"
Manukyan said.
