EU Powers Propose Gaza Reconstruction in Exchange for Hamas Disarmament
(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid - Germany, France and Britain presented Israel with an initiative to rehabilitate Gaza, subject to an international supervision apparatus that will prevent the rearmament of Hamas. Three senior European diplomats gave a document of principles for an international agreement to Israeli National Security Adviser Yossi Cohen in Jerusalem on Wednesday. The principles include preventing the armament and strengthening of Hamas and the rest of the terror organizations in Gaza, rehabilitating Gaza in cooperation with the international community, and setting up an international mechanism to prevent the entry of prohibited materials and ensuring that materials such as cement and iron do not reach the terror organizations.
