White House welcomes new Gaza goods list
The White House welcomed the publication of the goods list now allowed into the Gaza Strip. "We believe the list of restricted goods for Gaza announced today will make a significant improvement in the lives of people in Gaza, while keeping weapons out of the hands of Hamas," said spokesman Tommy Vietor, referring to Gaza's Islamist rulers.
"This is an important step in implementing the new policy announced by Israel two weeks ago. The president looks forward to discussing it with the prime minister tomorrow," he added. (Reuters)
