São Paulo – This Thursday (12th), Israel’s government authorized the return of product imports from the Gaza Strip. This will be the first time that Palestinian products from this territory will be allowed to be sold to Israel since Hamas took over Gaza in 2007. The information is from the news agency Associated Press and was published by the newspaper The National, from the United Arab Emirates.
27 tons of tomato and five tons of eggplant were already sent to Israel. According to the information from the newspaper, more vegetables will be sent to the Israelis. Samples were sent by 17 producers to Israel, but only nine were approved according to the country’s standards. The food will be exported with the name of the producer written in both Arabic and English and also with the phrase “Made in Gaza” printed in the boxes.
