Liberman to discuss easing restrictions on Gaza with defense chiefs

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman will meet with top members of the Israeli security forces tomorrow to discuss easing Israeli restrictions on the Gaza Strip, a senior official says.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, says reopening the Kerem Shalom crossing will be considered during the meeting, as well as returning the permitted fishing zone to six nautical miles, if the calm continues on the border.

Additionally, further economic incentives will be considered in the coming days if if there is no renewal of violence, namely the launching of incendiary airborne devices from Gaza toward Israeli territory.
