UN Urges ’Israel’ to Ease Travel for Palestinians
Local Editor
UN chief Ban Ki-moon urged the Zionist entity on Wednesday to ease restrictions on travel for Palestinians between the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank for Ramadan prayers.
This comes as "Israel" announced earlier Wednesday that it was revoking permits for 500 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to enter Occupied al-Quds for prayers during the holy Muslim month.
Ban "welcomes "Israel's" measures to ease some restrictions on Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza," Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman told the Security Council.
"He encourages "Israel" to sustain and expand these confidence-building measures which enable the legitimate movement of people and goods in and between Gaza and the West Bank including "East-Jerusalem", and improve the quality of life of Palestinians."
Pro-Palestinian activists aboard a flotilla of boats plan to reach the shores of the Gaza Strip by the end of the month, in their latest bid to break Israel's blockade of the tiny coastal enclave.
But Feltman said the UN secretary-general "continues to believe that a flotilla will not help to address the dire situation in Gaza."
A similar attempt five years ago ended in bloodshed, after "Israeli" commandos staged a botched pre-dawn raid on a flotilla, massacring 10 Turkish activists and triggering a diplomatic crisis with Ankara.
