The war in Israel started Saturday with a bloody surprise attack of the Islamist movement Hamas. The main objective of this terrorist group – as considered by the European Union – is the liberation of Gaza, destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamic State. In fact, it is not the first time that Hamas bombs Israel since the Islamic organization took power in Gaza. Israel has also repeatedly attacked the organization with airstrikes and, together with Egypt, has blockaded the Gaza Strip since 2007.

Thus, the conflict completes its sixth day more than 1,200 dead in Israel and at least 1,055 in the Gaza Strip. It was there where this Wednesday the electricity was cut after the only power plant in the blockaded Palestinian enclave stopped working. For his part, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced yesterday the formation of an emergency government together with Beny Gantz, member of the opposition, former Minister of Defense and former Chief of the Army Staff, to confront the war with the Palestinian militias in Gaza.
