Regional Cooperation Minister Tzippy Livni denies UN claims that Israel is blocking the transport of medicines to the PA areas. Livni explained to UN representatives that the medicines are not being transferred due to UN refusal to allow their trucks to undergo security inspections - while at the same time insisting that UN trucks be used. Minister Livni expressed the hope that instead of maintaining its stubborn stance, the UN will try to advance a solution to the benefit of those who need the medicines.
