Why must Gaza wait in the dark? Separating Gaza's electricity supply from the political conflict is a step long overdue. Access to electricity--a basic necessity that much of the world, including Israeli citizens can take for granted--should not be conditional upon outcomes of future negotiations. Continued darkness in Gaza serves no one.
