EU offers to vet supplies imports into Palestine

PRESSURE on Isreal to lift the blockade on Gaza has been increasing since their army attacked a flotilla of vessels attempting to bring aid to the beseiged area.

The European Union has offered to vet imports of supplies to help the 1.4 million Palestinians rebuild their infrastructure, either in Cyprus or the Israeli port of Ashdod as well as through the Rafah border crossing from Egypt.

EU officials said there are indications the Israelis are willing to agree some kind of formula that would increase the amount of goods getting through.
