Barak: Ease Limits on Gaza if Terror, Smuggling Stops

(IsraelNN.com) Defense Minister Ehud Barak told his visiting Czech counterpart Vlasta Parkanova Monday that Israel would consider easing travel restrictions on Gaza Arabs if there is a halt in terrorist attacks and smuggling of weapons and explosives into Gaza. He said any future changes would be in coordination with the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority, which lost control of Gaza to Hamas last June during a war between party militias.

The PA and Hamas have been conducting a worldwide public relations campaign, bolstered by United Nations representatives in Gaza, to blame Israeli restrictions on Gaza as the reason for its economic difficulties.
