Israel has opened the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) and A-Montar crossings as the EU's defacto foreign minister, Catherine Ashton, calls for further restrictions to be lifted.
"There needs to be an opening of the crossings for both people and goods to flow in both directions," she said at a joint news conference with Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad, ahead of her Gaza visit. moreMuch of the traffic will include aid delivered to Al-Arish in Egypt by Libyan aid ship Hope.
Local sources said that the Israeli authorities will allow the entry of vans loaded with food aid. The vans were delivered to Al-Arish via Hope ship. The aid will be entered via Abu Salem crossing to the blockaded Strip from Al-Arish were the aid were unloaded. more
This woman is merely repeating a worn out, meaningless and impotent mantra. What the WORLD wants to hear and SEE IN ACTION, is VERY TOUGH South African Style anti-Apartheid measures against Israel which must remain in force till Israel FULLY OPENS Gaza for EXPORTS too, gets out of Occupied Palestine/dismantles the Apartheid in "Israel" and in Palestine and fully re-integrates Gaza and all the Palestinian families who were segregated & dispossessed.
ReplyDeleteThe trouble is our BENT & BRIBED politicians will NEVER do this, which is why it is SO important for every humane citizen on the PLANET to refuse to do business with ANY individual OR business who supports ANY ELEMENT of the (currently) illegal state of Israel.
VIVA PALESTINA.
Palestine must and WILL be FREE.
I am proud to boycott ALL Israeli goods and to be spreading the word through our website http://www.ukfpi.org
There is NO SUCH THING as MEANINGFUL negotiations with a pariah state like Israel (during all such TALKS Israel arrogantly & brutally continues to steal more land & murder & maim more non-Jews), the main things they understand is POWER & MONEY, which we need to legally & non-violently remove from their pockets.
BOYCOTT DIVEST & SANCTION NOW.
