question is
Israel on Wednesday weighed a possible loosening portefeuilles of its blockade of the Gaza Strip, with top security officials debating plans intended to answer international criticism without easing the pressure on the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.The security cabinet -- made up of seven of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's portefeuille cuir closest advisers -- met Wednesday and is scheduled to reconvene on Thursday. The possible changes come in response to international pressure to end the siege of the territory following an Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound Turkish aid ship last month that left nine sac main pas cher activists dead.
There is no sign that Israel is planning to lift the blockade. The goals, according to Israeli officials and media reports, are to allow more goods into Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas, and to put in place new mechanisms for monitoring sac à main pochette importation, perhaps by outside parties, as part of an effort to avoid further clashes with aid flotillas.That Netanyahu appears willing to modify the blockade at all is a shift for the Israeli leader, who in the immediate aftermath of the May 31 raid was defiant toward international criticism, insisting that the siege was necessary for Israel's security.
Hamas and other groups fired rockets from the vente de sac territory toward Israeli towns until Israel launched a large-scale offensive against the strip in December 2008, an operation that killed 1,400 people."The restrictions on goods into and out of Gaza are instituted not for security reasons, but rather as part of a vente sac declared policy to restrict the movement of people and goods as a means of applying pressure on the Hamas regime," said Sari Bashi, director of Gisha, an Israeli nongovernmental organization that advocates ending the blockade."The express purpose of this policy is to block all economic activity in Gaza. vente en ligne sac So the real question is whether Israel will abandon this policy -- immediately or in the near future -- or whether it will continue to aspire to block economic activity but simply let in a few more consumer goods," she sac a main en cuir added.Since the interception of the aid flotilla, Israel has gradually expanded the list of items allowed into Gaza, lifting a ban on some foods, including jam and coriander, and shaving supplies.
