To Sanction or Not to Sanction?

Chapter Chapter 1 in Economic Sanctions, 2007, pp 1-8 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract On June 25, 2006, an Israeli soldier was kidnapped by militants, known as “Hamas,” after a raid into Israel from positions in the Gaza Strip. The soldier was held hostage and his captors’ demands included the freeing of over one thousand jailed Palestinians. As a reaction to this kidnapping, where one soldier’s life was in question, the Israeli government ordered troops over the border into Gaza to destroy bridges and electric transformers and to shut off all utilities to the suspected location of the Hamas kidnappers. The limited invasion sought to constrain the kidnappers’ activity and find the soldier in question, not to initiate full-scale conflict against Hamas in Gaza. On July 5, however, as negotiations closed in on a stalemate, the Israeli army began to mass on the Gaza border for a full strike.1
