Gaza to stop importing Israeli produce in response to Gaza border closure
The Hamas-run agriculture ministry in the Gaza Strip is banning all imports of Israeli fruit, according to Palestinian media reports, over Jerusalem’s decision stop importing Palestinian produce from Gaza in response to the incendiary kites and balloons that have been flown into Israeli territory over the last few months.
Kerem Shalom, the only cargo crossing between Gaza and Israel, has been subject to a strict blockade for the past 11 years that Israel says is meant to prevent terrorist groups from bringing weapons into the Strip. Egypt also tightly controls the nearby Rafah border crossing into the Sinai.
