Israel said it would agree to lift the siege on Gaza after the talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with former British Prime Minister, the Envoy of the Quartet of Middle East Tony Blair.
“The aim of the meeting was to recruit international support behind the principle that weapons and military supportive material will not reach Gaza or Hamas, while humanitarian and civilian goods may reach the area and its residents via additional means,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement, Korrespondent reports.
Earlier Israel eased restrictions on goods to Gaza Strip, announcing it would permit the import of additional food items via Israeli-controlled crossings.
