| | + | Tonight, too, hundreds of residents of the Gaza Strip near the Central District Chamber of Commerce building in the Gaza Strip to be the first in line to receive 2,500 permits for trade with Israel, after 4,500 lucky Gazans have already managed to obtain permits and left for Israel. |
| | + | |
| | + | Yesterday, Wednesday, many thousands gathered near an extension next to the Chamber of Commerce and lined up to receive the coveted permits. As you may recall, about two months ago, Israel approved another relief for the residents of the Gaza Strip and granted them 7,000 trade permits. 4,500 permits have already been issued to those eligible, but now more than 10,500 Gazans are trying to obtain the unused permits. |
| | + | |
| | + | This morning, the Khan Yunis Chamber of Commerce announced that it would no longer accept applications except through the Internet, due to the congestion on the part of the applicants. In the Gaza Strip, where the unemployment rate stands at 65%, according to one estimate, there are already expressions of ridicule towards the Hamas regime, given the degrading views of Gaza residents fighting each other in huge queues, for the right to emigrate to Israel, which only five months ago was under fire. The rockets from the Gaza Strip and the calls for condemnation are heard in demonstrations on the fence. |
| | + | |
| | + | "Residents of the Gaza Strip mock Hamas and claim that it is" responsible for humiliating the residents. The people flee the Gaza Strip after 14 years through the Erez checkpoint, if only to reach Israel, which Hamas claimed to be a defeated entity. This seems to be Hamas' biggest victory in 14 years Residents of the Strip. |
| | + | |
| | + | Another resident, a doctor at one of the hospitals, said "Gaza residents now prefer the Chamber of Commerce room over the common operations room where only the 14 Palestinian factions are employed." |
| | + | |
| | + | "If the crossings were open until tonight, there would be no one left in the Gaza Strip except the children of Ismail Haniya, who should not work in Israel anyway," said a Gaza resident. "This is what Hamas and Tehran did to our people." |
| | + | |
| | + | Only residents aged 26 to 60, unmarried and who have been vaccinated against the corona are allowed to get the trade permits but many thousands, including employees, are trying their hand nonetheless. "This is a ticket to freedom," a Gaza resident explained.</blockquote></ref> |
