Israel announces 3,000 new work permits for Gazans

Now, the total number of work permits issued to Palestinian workers from Gaza Strip is increased to 10,000.
Israel will increase the number of Palestinian workers it permits to enter its territory from the Gaza Strip, an Israeli defense body announced on Wednesday, a gesture seemingly meant to bolster a fragile calm between the sides.
Gaza’s more than 2 million Palestinian residents have lived under a stifling since the Islamic militant groupseized power from rival Palestinian forces in 2007, and unemployment and poverty is rampant. Israel says the closures are needed to contain the militant group, while critics view it as a form of collective punishment.
