MP Jamal Al-Khudari, the head of the popular committee against the siege confirmed that the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip seven years ago was not completed due to the Israeli siege and ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip.
“Israel” is still imposing complete control over the commercial crossings, depriving Gaza from the most important construction materials needed for both the commercial and private sectors, Al-Khudari explained.
He stressed that the occupation still imposes restrictions on Palestinian fishermen, and prevents solidarity ships from reaching the Gazan port as the recent Israeli attack on the Turkish ship, the “Mavi Marmara”, which killed and injured dozens of activists.
He noted that "Israel" has destroyed the Gazan International Airport, and prevents any building operations and restoration projects in it.
All these Israeli restrictions confirm the continuation of the siege and aggression, which require real international pressures to end the siege, to open the Gazan commercial crossings, to establish a safe passage between West Bank and Gaza, and to open the Gazan international Airport, Al-Khudari stressed.
