JERUSALEM, June 17 (AFP): Israel on Thursday approved a plan to ease its blockade of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip following weeks of international pressure but provided few details on what new goods would be allowed in.
Under the plan, Israel would "liberalise the system by which civilian goods enter Gaza (and) expand the inflow of materials for civilian projects that are under international supervision," the government said in a statement.
