Israel Increases Flow of Supplies to Gaza as Truce Holds
[VOA News ] Robert Berger - Israel is increasing the flow of supplies into Gaza as an Egyptian-mediated truce that began last Thursday holds. "If the quiet is sustainable, and I hope it will be, then in the coming days you will see the gradual easing of the sanctions on the Gaza Strip," said Israeli spokesman Mark Regev. However, "Hamas has to know that we will not get anywhere close to normalization on the crossings as long as [abducted Israeli soldier] Gilad Shalit is being held hostage," he said.
