The Israeli army announces the dismissal of some reservists. “Some of the reservist soldiers will return to their families and their jobs as early as this week,” a military spokesman said. This means significant relief for the economy.
The reservists were also able to gain strength for the new year: “The fighting will continue and we will need that.”
Israel also wants to allow aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip through a maritime corridor from Cyprus. These could begin immediately, Secretary of State Eli Cohen told radio station 103 FM.
States provide support
Britain, France, Greece and the Netherlands have ships that can land directly on the coast because the Gaza Strip has no deep-sea port.
“There is currently a naval blockade, and if such a ship comes out of Larnaca, it will only be with our permission,” Cohen said. Britain and Greece have already offered their support.
Inspection of goods in Cyprus
The corridor was proposed by Cyprus in November. The aid deliveries would undergo security checks in the Cypriot port city of Larnaca and then be taken to the coast of the Gaza Strip – 370 kilometers away.
