Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said he regretted Israel’s decision, while Development Minister Dirk Niebel – who is on a four-day trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories — said it was “a big diplomatic mistake”. > more.

Israel to Ease Gaza Land Blockade

JERUSALEM — Israel announced Thursday that it would “liberalize” its 3-year-old blockade of Gaza by allowing more goods to enter by land, but it made no offer to lift its naval embargo.

The move, coming weeks after Israeli commandos killed nine people aboard an aid flotilla bound for Gaza, seemed designed to quell international protest over the violence. Israel says its soldiers were attacked before they opened fire in self-defense on pro-Palestinianactivists aboard the ship. > more.

Eyewitnesses recount Israel flotilla raid

(CNN) — Some of the first accounts emerged Tuesday from eyewitnesses who were aboard several boats stormed by Israeli forces as they approached Gaza the day before.

Hanin Zoabi, a member of the Israeli parliament, was on board the Miva Marmara, the ship that was the scene of a confrontation between activists and Israeli soldiers. That clash left at least nine people dead.

The Israeli Navy fired on the ships five minutes before commandos descended from ropes that dangled from helicopters, Zoabi said during a press conference in Nazareth, Israel. She said passengers on board the ship were unarmed.  > more.
