Responding to a request from HaMoked, the OC Southern Command announced that he will not be granting permission to Israelis to visit their relatives in the Gaza Strip at the upcoming festivals of Christmas and Id al-Adha: As is the case with each approaching festival, the blanket refusal is based on the vague argument of “security grounds.”

A month ahead of the Christian and Muslim holidays (Christmas and Id al-Adha) HaMoked reminds that entry to Gaza for family visits should be permitted, and advance preparations should be made for the busy traffic of individuals through the Erez crossing: this after the military, unexpectedly and unlike previous years, did not allow Israelis to enter the Gaza Strip on last Id al-Adha, preventing them from celebrating with their families

Ten human rights organizations, including HaMoked, petitioned the High Court of Justice against the Israeli government’s decision to decrease the supply of electricity and fuel to the civilian population in the Gaza Strip: Collective punishment will result in the shut down of operating rooms, medical equipment, mortuary freezers, ambulances and irrigation systems for fruit and vegetables.
