Israel has decided to permit 10,000 Palestinian workers and 1,000 merchants from the Gaza Strip to cross through the Erez checkpoint Wednesday, September 3, 2003. The job seekers’ entrance to the Jewish state was restricted since the August 19 suicide bombing on a Jerusalem bus, which left 20 people dead. The move is intended as a “goodwill measure,” according to Israeli army officials. – (menareport.com)
