Israel gives initial approval for Cyprus-Gaza sea corridor: Report
2023-12-28
[GEO.TV] Israel has agreed “in principle” to allow Cyprus, with the support of Britain, to open up a humanitarian sea corridor into Gaza, Al Jazeera reported citing reports from Israel’s Hayom newspaper.

More supplies and equipment would enter the beleaguered Palestinian enclave through the corridor.

Up until now, it has only been able to do so through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt and, more recently, the Israeli border crossing at Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom).

Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen relayed the initial approval for the corridor to his counterparts in Cyprus and the UK on Tuesday, saying it could likely begin operating “upon completion of the required preparations”, according to Hayom.

#7  "Of course, the aid transports will have to stay 12 miles off the coast, and the Gazooks will have to swim to them"

#6  I suspect the day will come where the "huddled masses" plaque is ripped down and melted on the spot, and the same people who rubbed their hands together with glee while confederate statues were pulled down will wail and rend their garments.

Pay per view, please...

"Everyone is now welcome here."

#3  What is keeping Egypt from opening a "humanitarian corridor" to/from Gaza? Besides common sense, anyway?

#1  I would say these "humanitarian corridors" are the dumbest thing I ever heard off - but, then, there's USA border policy.
