Israel Increases Work Permit Quotas for Gazans
(Times of Israel) Aaron Boxerman - The Israeli government on Sunday raised the number of permits for Gazans to work in Israel by an additional 8,000 - to 20,000. The quota was raised to 12,000 just two weeks ago. Qatari envoy to Gaza Mohammad al-Emadi told Gaza media on Thursday that Israel had pledged to eventually raise the quota to 30,000. UN envoy to the region Tor Wennesland recently noted that in January, Gaza exports - which mostly leave through Israeli crossings - rose to their highest levels since 2007.
