Hamas group,Israel Approves First Exports From Gaza in More Than a Year

Israel today approved the first exports from the Palestinian-ruled Gaza Strip in more than a year, clearing the transfer of 25,000 flowers for delivery to Europe ahead of Valentine’s Day.
Israel agreed at the request of the Dutch government to allow the carnations to pass into Israel where they will be flown to Europe, said Major Peter Lerner, an Israeli Defense Ministry spokesman. He said it did not mark a change in Israeli policy.

“It’s done on a case-by-case basis and the Dutch government asked us,” he said by phone. “I’m sure the Palestinians will ask for more.”
Israeli has blockaded Gaza, a 360 square-kilometer (144- square-mile) territory on the Mediterranean coast, since the Islamic group Hamas took power in June 2007. Exports are banned and imports restricted to basic necessities.
The two sides fought a 22-day war last month that the Palestinian central bureau of statistics estimates caused about $2 billion of damage, including 80 percent of Gaza’s crops. Since the conflict ended on Jan. 18, Israel has come under pressure to ease movement into and out of Gaza.

The European Union and the U.S. classify Hamas, which denies Israel’s right to exist, as a terrorist group.
