“Fuel supplies will return and the power station will be restarted from Tuesday.”
According to Hamas, the new understandings include “a number of projects that serve our people in the Gaza Strip and would help them cope with the outbreak of the coronavirus.”
On Monday night, Israel’s Office of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announced it had agreed to resume the shipment of fuel into Gaza.
Israel had halted the flow of fuel into the Gaza Strip on August 13 in retaliation for Palestinians launching incendiary balloons and rockets.
It had also halted the transfer of goods into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing, which is controlled by the IDF, on August 11.
“Following efforts to calm the situation, and in light of security consultations led by Defence Minister Benny Gantz, a decision was taken to resume the routine activity of the Kerem Shalom crossing, including the entry of fuel products, starting tomorrow [Tuesday],” COGAT said.
Gaza’s fishing zone, which had been closed, would now be set once again at 15 nautical miles, it said.
