Israel to suspend exporting goods from Gaza until further noticeThe Israeli authorities have said that it will suspend exporting goods from the Gaza Strip, starting Tuesday, until further noticeBy IANS Published Date - 08:40 AM, Tue - 5 September 23Gaza: The Israeli authorities have said that it will suspend exporting goods from the Gaza Strip, starting Tuesday, until further notice, according to Palestinian sources. The decision came after Israel thwarted an attempt to smuggle explosive materials at the crossing, according to the sources. “The Israeli authorities decided to stop shipping goods from Gaza to Israel and the West Bank after the smuggling attempt,” he added. Despite the suspension’s potential negative impacts on the economic situation in the strip, Israel will not allow the “terrorists to exploit the civil and humanitarian field in Gaza,” Alyan said. Israel has imposed a tight blockade on the Gaza Strip, home to more than two million people, since the Hamas movement seized control of the enclave in 2007.
