EU foreign ministers question the point of rebuilding enclave

EU FOREIGN ministers were questioning the point of rebuilding infrastructure in Gaza they had rebuilt several times in the past, during a special meeting attended by the Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni.

EU ministers urged Livni to open crossings to allow humanitarian aid into the Palestinians in sufficient quantities and on a regular basis and to put in place a permanent ceasefire.

The Israelis want the EU to provide monitors and technology to prevent arms smuggling into Gaza and to guarantee that no more weapons will get into the enclave.
