to ease the Gaza blockade Israel says the foreign policy spokesman of the FDP parliamentary group Rainer Stinner:
The easing of the blockade of Gaza to imports of goods for non-military projects under international supervision is welcome. Finally, the UN promote the urgently needed reconstruction of schools and health facilities. The relaxation is only a first step. Target must be the permanent opening of access to Gaza for people and business communication, and for humanitarian aid to be as required by the Resolution 1860 of the United Nations. However, the legitimate security interests of Israel are taken into account. Arms sales may not take place.
The blockade of Gaza is completely inefficient. None of the intended targets, Israel has achieved: the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit remains abducted and weapons to the extremists continue to be smuggled, but just controlled through 600 tunnels whose entrances Hamas. As a result, Hamas has also been strengthened. And the UN that its mandate, the population with educational, health and social services to provide complete, not because they needed the funds in Gaza can not obtain by legal means.
This catastrophic humanitarian situation of the Hamas only drives on to trailers. This is not in Israel's interest nor Germany nor the international community. At the same time we recognize the legitimate security interests of Israel. Therefore, Germany will remain a close ally of Israel with all his strength in the Middle East Quartet and the EU for a solution to the conflict.
