STORYLINE
The director of Karem Abu Salem border crossing Bassam Ghaben said that the Israeli authorities reversed a recent decision, which banned the entry of goods into the Gaza strip. The occupation state allowed the entry of all goods, except for construction materials.
Ghaben told on Tuesday that Israeli authorities have allowed the entry of fishing nets for the first time since May. He noted that this means that it will allow more goods to be imported.
He also noted that the Israelis will not allow the entry of construction materials. Such kinds of material do not include cement and iron only, however, they include everything related to construction.
