EUGENIO GARCÍA GASCÓN The dazzling attack by Hamas against Israel constitutes a resounding qualitative change with respect to what has been seen until now. The Palestinian resistance organization that governs the Gaza Strip has killed more than a hundred Israelis and taken dozens prisoner, including soldiers and civilians. His release will be negotiated as an exchange in exchange for thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, probably addressing the lifting of the blockade on the Strip. It is actually wrong to speak of a status quo in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. It is true that the Israeli authorities often use that expression, but it is no less true that these authorities change the status quo on a daily, persistent and decisive basis.
