STORYLINE:

Israel allowed for a renewed gold trade between Gaza and the West Bank.

In a statement, the Israeli army said after evaluating the security situation, Israel took economic measures in the Gaza strip to improve the humanitarian conditions.

The statement said the easing of restrictions includes importing goods and materials for international organizations' projects in Gaza, allowing entry of new vehicles into Gaza, and allowing the gold trade between Gaza and the West Bank. The Gaza businessmen will also get additional 1,000 exit permits.

The gold industry in Gaza has thrived amid the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in terms of increased production locally and enhanced quality and availability of a variety of gold products and jewelry.

During the Israeli offensive on Gaza in May, Israel imposed severe restrictions on importing goods to Gaza, especially the construction materials, causing an additional economic crisis in the blockaded Gaza.
