Gisha Director at UN Security Council: Isolation of Gaza - a primary obstacle to peaceTania Hary - Gisha - Addressing the UN Security Council, Tania Hary, Executive Director of Gisha, stressed the heavy damage – to the economy, society, families, and well-being – caused by the sweeping restrictions on Palestinians` movement between Gaza and the West Bank, as part of the “separation policy”. Israel believes that it can ‘manage’ the humanitarian situation in Gaza; it has an interest in maintaining the physical and political fragmentation of Palestinians, which allows it to pursue annexation in the West Bank.” Hary described several of Gisha’s recent cases: women who were blocked from attending Gisha’s Gaza Policy Forum because, according to the state, “women play too minor of a role in the economy”; a cookie manufacturer in Gaza who has been effectively banned from selling his products in the West Bank; and the Gaza resident who, after two petitions and an appeal to the Supreme Court, is still being denied a permit to visit his bed- ridden father who, according to Israel, is “not sick enough”.

Gisha Director Tania Hary to address UN Security Council on severe effects of the Gaza siege Noa Galili - Gisha - Tomorrow (November 20) at 10:00 a.m. EST/ 5:00 p.m. local time, Gisha Executive Director Tania Hary will address the United Nations Security Council as part of its discussion on The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. Hary was invited to brief the Security Council by the United Kingdom Mission to the United Nations, currently presiding as Council President. Her briefing will be broadcast live on UN Web TV. In her address, Hary will provide an overview of ongoing restrictions enforced by Israel on movement of people and goods to and from the Gaza Strip – in particular, between Gaza and the West Bank – as part of Israel’s “separation policy.” These sweeping prohibitions on movement and access between the two parts of the Palestinian territory routinely violate basic rights, thwart economic development, and prevent Palestinians from building a shared society.[ak]19/11/2019

Israel closes Gaza crossings and reduces fishing zoneGisha - This morning, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories announced that “following the situation” Israel has closed the crossings between Israel and Gaza to movement in both directions until further notice – Erez Crossing to movement of people and Kerem Shalom to movement of goods – and reduced the “fishing zone” it enforces in the Strip’s territorial waters to a distance of only 6 nautical miles off Gaza’s coast. Gisha emphasizes that Israel has an obligation to allow the continued provision of necessities to residents of Gaza and to enable travel. At a minimum, humanitarian access must be allowed. Gisha is following with great concern the impact of these developments on the lives of civilians. The civilian population must be kept out of the line of fire. [ak] 12/11/2019
