Israel allowed a shipment of clothes and shoes for Palestinian traders into the Gaza Strip on Sunday for the first time three years.
A military spokesman said clothes and shoes had been allowed into the territory on a regular basis as part of humanitarian aid. But this was the first time that privately imported clothing was allowed in for traders to sell on.
Palestinian officials said the goods arrived in the coastal enclave via the Kerem Shalom border crossing. Ten trucks of clothing and footwear were expected during the day, they said.
Why would we do such a thing, when Kassam rockets are being fired into Israel?
Maybe I missed the news and thee Palestinians released their hostage Gilad Schalit.
Oh I know why, we have a tough guy named Bibi as Prime Minister.
Tough guy, yeah right he is going to fold.
