Conclusion
27. The State of Israel is taking steps to maintain the security of the
nation and its people. At the same time, Israel has no interest
whatsoever in harming the residents of the Gaza Strip and is
allowing the various aid organizations to maintain as normal a fabric
of life as possible.
28. In its efforts to smuggle military materiel, to develop its military
strength and enhance its capability to harm the citizens of the State
of Israel, Hamas is harming the residents of the Gaza Strip and
preventing them from rebuilding their lives.
29. Nevertheless, the IDF continues to allow goods, infrastructure
materials and medical equipment and supplies to enter the Gaza
Strip, subject to the limitation imposed by Israel’s security needs
and in accordance with the new crossings policy.
30. The implementation of the new crossings policy has resulted in
an expansion of the range of goods arriving daily in the Gaza
Strip. In the future, it will result in the expansion of projects in
Gaza, primarily in the fields of education, health, the water
system and sanitation. All such activity is being done with the full
and close cooperation of the Palestinian Authority and the
international community.
