BRUSSELS, (PIC)-- The European campaign to end the siege said Tuesday that the next Freedom Flotilla aid convoy that will set sail in early August will help Gaza people to export the products they produce to the world.
The campaign, a partner of the Freedom Flotilla coalition, stressed that it is determined to move forward in its anti-siege activities and send more ships to Gaza.
It pointed out that it wants to assist Gaza farmers and industrialists to export their products to Europe through the visiting aid ships.
The campaign underlined that Israel's conditional decision to alleviate the blockade on Gaza makes a mockery of international calls for ending the siege and is aimed to keep it imposed on more than one and a half million Palestinians, but this time with international approval.
In another context, MP Jamal Al-Khudari, the head of the popular committee against the siege, said Tuesday that Israel intends to ban the export of dairy products and meat from the West Bank to the occupied city of Jerusalem after it already imposed a similar ban on medicines.
Khudari warned in a press release that the decision means increasing the isolation of the holy city and tightening the economic blockade on the West Bank, adding that this decision threatens the owners of factories and productive families and heralds a big unemployment crisis.
