CNN reports:
Jerusalem (CNN) — Israel plans to ease its blockade of Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday following an Israeli Security Cabinet meeting, a step welcomed by the United States and Middle East envoy Tony Blair.
“Israel has decided to enable the flow of all civilian goods into the Gaza strip. From today, there is a green light approval for all goods to enter into Gaza except for military items and materials that can strengthen Hamas’ military machine,” a source in Netanyahu’s office told CNN.
Netanyahu said in a statement Israel would “publish a list of items not permitted into Gaza that is limited to weapons and war material, including problematic dual-use items. All items not on this list will be permitted to enter Gaza.”
The Security Cabinet said last week it planned to revamp its policy, paving the way for the vote Sunday.
