Gaza Farmers Get €3.7m Support Package from EU IMEMC - a new European Union contribution of €3.7 million targets 178 additional farmers and agro-businesses in the Gaza Strip to relaunch, repair or replace damaged businesses. It covers wide range of activities including the acquisition of agricultural supplies, rehabilitation of land and other small infrastructure works. In particular, the Palestinian Authority will rehabilitate 22 water wells, to irrigate about 2800 dunams, supply 15 agricultural tractors, provide 118 livestock farms, including 2,600 heads of livestock, and construct 37 greenhouses units. This brings the total number of beneficiaries of the programme, to date, to 259 farmers. The money is transferred via the The Palestinian Authority’s programme, “Private Sector Reconstruction Gaza – Agriculture”. [Unlike in other cases, this was not affected by the Palestinian Authority`s sanctions imposed as part of the ongoing Fatah-Hamas rift. [ak]30/4/2019
The world had decades to stop annexation. Just ask PalestiniansHagai El-Ad - +972 "On the eve of Israel’s recent elections, Prime Minister Netanyahu made a campaign promise to annex parts of the West Bank, which was followed by a flood of impassioned international appeals. One cannot help but wonder about the gap between all the fuss about a potential future statement on de jure annexation and decades of inaction in response to unilateral Israeli steps, which have already established a reality of de facto annexation." ca27/4/2019

The violence of “relative calm”Maureen Clare Murphy - EI - “Thus ‘relative calm’ reigns over the West Bank and Gaza Strip as Israel’s military occupation approaches its 52nd year. ‘Relative calm’ – the meaninglessness is baked into the phrase – being that Palestinians are still deprived of their basic rights, which are treated as subject to negotiation even by the UN.

Confusing situation for Gaza fishermenIMEMC - According to reports of the ceasefire agreement reached between the Israeli government and Hamas, Israel has expanded the permitted fishing zone from six to 15 nautical miles, for the first time in years, with the purpose of boosting a Gazan economy that is heavily reliant on the fishing sector. It is not clear, however, whether the new policy is implemented in practice by the Israeli Navy ships constantly patrolling the Gazan waters. Israeli navy ships attacked, on Tuesday at noon, several Palestinian fishing boats in the Central District of the besieged and impoverished Gaza Strip. The head of the Palestinian Fishermen Union in Gaza, Zakariya Bakr, said that Israeli Navy chased several fishing boats less than twelve nautical miles from the shore - i.e., well withing the new permitted zone. The navy sprayed the Gazan boats with waste-water mixed with chemicals. [ak] 2/4/2019
