Israel Reopens Its Only Goods Crossing with Gaza

W300

Israel reopened its only goods crossing with the Gaza Strip on Wednesday after closing it to most deliveries on July 9 following months of border tensions, a response to relative calm in recent days.

An AFP journalist at the Kerem Shalom crossing, said dozens of trucks carrying various types of goods, including fuel, began passing into the blockaded Palestinian enclave.

Both Israeli and Palestinian officials confirmed the crossing had reopened.

One of these days, weeks, months, years, the population of Gaza will realise that in order to improve their way of live they will have to co-exist with Israel.
They have already learned that Hamas can not, or more correctly will not, supply them with their basic food etc needs, and help on this, for example on getting electricity for more than 4 hours a day, can only be obtained by co-existance. They must by now have learned that nearly all the money pouring into the Gaza Strip is being waylayed by Hamas in order to pay for arms, building tunnels and paying all their terrorists salaries, leaving virtually nothing for the people.

Gaza should refuse any goods coming through Israel, the enemy it swears it will destroy, and only receive goods through its crossing with Egypt, which it refers to as its brother.

In that case there would be no food, no petrol, no electricity, no gas, no medicines, you name it except perhaps for weapons and ammunition, as NOTHING for the civilian population comes in from Egypt.
