Following a security assessment held tonight (Saturday), Defense Minister Bnei Gantz decided to freeze the increase in the quota of permits for labor and trade for Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, which was increased by another 2,000.
The addition of work visas to the Palestinians was conditional on continued security stability and following the rocket fired at the State of Israel on Friday night, they were revoked.
"The terrorist organization Hamas bears responsibility for everything that is done in and out of the Gaza Strip towards the State of Israel, and it will bear the consequences," the coordinator of operations in the territories said.
