IDF official says Gaza exports have shot up, as Israel seeks to incentivize calm
2022-08-15
[IsraelTimes] Military’s liaison to Paleostinians says ’combined policy’ of helping civilians while not allowing terror buildup has also led to over 300% increase in movement through border.

In data shared by Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), exports from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
to the West Bank were expected to shoot up by 27 percent this year, continuing a trend. In 2020, the total number of trucks exporting goods from Gaza to the West Bank was 3,397; in 2021 it was 4,003; and by the end of this year it is expected to reach 5,117, according to estimates.

Exports from Gaza to Israel were also expected to rise by an unprecedented 93.8%, according to COGAT. In 2020, some 1,181 trucks carrying exports entered Israel from Gaza; 2,588 in 2021; and this year the number is expected to reach 5,016.

According to COGAT, crossings between Gaza and Israel increased by 311% percent this year. In 2020, some 122,400 crossing were recorded; in 2021 the number rose to 163,500; and this year the number shot up to 672,000, according to the data.

Currently, some 14,000 Gazook Paleostinians have work permits to enter Israel. The Defense Ministry has signed off on a tentative plan to eventually raise the number of permits to 20,000, an unprecedented increase. In mid-2021, just 7,000 Paleostinians from Gaza had permits to work or trade in Israel.

Defense officials say allowing more Gazooks to work in Israel will pump much-needed income into the impoverished coastal enclave while encouraging stability.

According to COGAT, Gaza’s local unemployment rate dropped by 5.5% over the last quarter to 44.7%, with the average daily salary rising slightly to NIS 61.7 ($19).

The workers allowed to cross into Israel to work might get as much as NIS 400 ($115.66) per day, according to a report by Times of Israel sister site Zman Yisrael.

According to Alian, after last week’s fighting against the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group, Israel "returned to the implementation of the civil policy towards the Gaza Strip with limitations on the issue of reconstruction, until there is progress with the missing and captured."

Israel has said it is preventing large-scale reconstruction of Gaza after last year’s 11-day war, unless Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, returns detained civilians Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, and the remains of IDF troops Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul who were killed in 2014’s war.

Hamas has rejected the condition.
