(Jerusalem Post) Israeli government spokesmen Thursday said the process of relaxing restrictions on Gaza had started months ago. The security cabinet reiterated that the naval blockade of Gaza would remain. According to Defense Minister Ehud Barak, the intention is to allow more goods into Gaza, but always only after an Israeli search of the cargo to ensure that it does not include "weapons, ammunition or materiel that can aid in fighting."
