For the second day in a row, Palestinian workers at the Kerem Shalom crossing have gone on a partial strike, closing down the only major route for goods to enter Gaza for half a day.
The strike is over not being paid their full wages by the Palestinian Authority and over benefits.
On Wednesday, they stopped work from 8 AM to 1 PM, and only worked for four hours. It looks like the same thing is happening today.
There are no negotiations going on with the PA so the strike looks like it is open-ended.
I could not find a single story in English about this.
When Israel closes the crossing for security reasons or even for holidays, there are inevitably stories about how Israel is punishing Gazans.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
