Israel Eases Gaza Blockade, Approves More Exports
(AP) Daniel Estrin - Israel decided Wednesday to allow increased exports from Gaza, further easing its blockade of the territory run by Hamas. Israel's Security Cabinet said its decision would expand economic activity for ordinary Gazans. Cabinet Secretary Tzvi Hauser said Israel wishes to "ease the pressure on the population in Gaza that is under Hamas' oppressive and terrorist rule." Under the new regulations, Palestinians will be able to export furniture, textiles and agricultural products which represent Gaza's main industries.
