Recently, Mosaic magazine and the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) highlighted on their websites HonestReporting’s articles detailing, respectively, the Palestinian Authority’s sanctions on the Gaza Strip as well as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror group.
Mosaic featured as an Editors’ Pick the critique, Invisible Blockade: Media Silent on Palestinian Authority’s Gaza Sanctions. The piece debunked the false narrative that the conditions in Gaza are solely to be blamed on the Israeli-Egyptian blockade. As Mosaic summarizes:
“A far greater contribution to Gaza’s woes comes from the Palestinian Authority (PA), which has imposed a blockade of its own—a result of the feud between Hamas and the PA’s ruling Fatah party. Gidon Ben-Zvi writes that the PA president Mahmoud Abbas has cut welfare payments in Gaza (which still run through Ramallah) and slashed funding for electricity.”
Also, the prestigious Tel Aviv-based INSS included in its online archives HonestReporting’s eye-opening piece on the PFLP. The article, which cited INSS research, appears on the think tank’s page on terrorism and low-intensity conflict.
