RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAIMages CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAIMages - APAIMages CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza- 08 August 2021.Palestinian workers remove the rubble of Jala' Tower recently destroyed by Israeli strikes. STORYLINE: Palestinians are hoping to use only Egyptian construction materials to rebuild what was wiped out during Israel’s ferocious attacks. Israel ties reconstruction with progress on other political and security issues, most notably the return of captured Israeli soldiers who were taken by Hamas. The Hamas admits to capturing four Israelis, including two soldiers during the 2014 Israeli war on Gaza. Al-Sisi also promised $500 million for rebuilding Gaza, and gave directives to Egyptian state institutions to provide all that is needed to accelerate reconstruction and completion. The real motive driving both sides to reach a ceasefire, however, was the situation on the ground, both socially and militarily. This could potentially mark the end of an era and the start of a new one. But it could also represent missed opportunities in the shifting Palestinian political sphere, continuing the “armistice doctrine” rather than finding a real solution to the blatant power imbalance.
