Gaza Power Plant Shuts Down, No Israeli Involvement
(AFP) Imports of industrial diesel fuel needed to run the Gaza power plant have declined since November when the European Commission aid program expired. The Israeli army said the Palestinians had stopped buying fuel in recent days after Hamas failed to pay its share of the costs. "There is no Israeli involvement; if they buy fuel we will let it in as we do on a daily basis," said Guy Inbar, a spokesman for the Israeli military liaison to Gaza.
