Israel has agreed to allocate 5,000 work visas to workers from the Gaza Strip, the Lebanese newspaper Al-Ahbar reported Saturday, which is close to Hezbollah. According to reports, the visas have been changed to commercial status. The report did not mention what Israel would receive in the deal.
Al-Ahbar claims that Israel demanded that the details be hidden from the media, and that the number of visas could increase to 15,000 starting next year. Nonetheless, it is clear that in any situation the number will remain significantly lower than it was before the Hamas coup in the Gaza Strip in 2007 - some 120,000 workers.
Those involved in the development, reportedly, are the Egyptians (whose mediation also halted the recent escalation against Islamic Jihad), the UN and the Qatari. To the Gaza Strip every month.
