A statement released by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s media adviser said that included in the adjustments to Israel’s Gaza policy would be an expansion of “the inflow of materials for civilian projects that are under international supervision.”…
“I welcome the Government of Israel’s decision to liberalize the policy on Gaza,” said Quartet Representative Tony Blair on Thursday in response to the security cabinet’s decision.
Blair added “as I have said in the past days, Israel has the clear right to defend itself and protect its security. The best way to do this is to ensure that weapons cannot reach Gaza whilst allowing into Gaza the items of ordinary daily life, including materials for the construction of homes, infrastructure and services as the UN have asked, and permitting legitimate business to revive.”
