This week:
The Knesset approved permits for 20,000 workers from the Gaza Strip to work in Israel.
A 40 million shekel investment to modernize Gaza crossings was announced.
Increased water sales to Gaza were also announced.
“Our government is working very hard to improve the lives of the Palestinians in the West Bank and in Gaza,” Bennett stated. “We are going to be investing almost 40 million shekels in improving the crossings between Israel and the Gaza Strip to allow smooth and dignified movement between Gaza and Israel.”
“While we can’t solve everything, we can improve the lives of people on ground and thanks to your help, this is happening,” he added.
Blinken commended Bennett and the Israeli government for efforts to address challenges facing Palestinians, citing the increase of Israeli water sales to Gaza and legalizing the status of thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank.
