[GEO.TV] Israel has agreed “in principle” to allow Cyprus, with the support of Britain, to open up a humanitarian sea corridor into Gaza, Al Jazeera reported citing reports from Israel’s Hayom newspaper.
More supplies and equipment would enter the beleaguered Palestinian enclave through the corridor.
Up until now, it has only been able to do so through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt and, more recently, the Israeli border crossing at Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom).
Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen relayed the initial approval for the corridor to his counterparts in Cyprus and the UK on Tuesday, saying it could likely begin operating “upon completion of the required preparations”, according to Hayom. |
