STORYLINE:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today (7 July) at UN Headquarters, on the heels of his meeting with United States (US) President Barack Obama at the White House where the two leaders discussed ways to advance to direct talks between the Israeli and Palestinian authorities.

UN officials have welcomed the additional measures recently announced by Israel in increasing the scope and quantity of materials allowed into Gaza, voicing their hope that the move will help address the needs of the 1.5 million Palestinians living in the territory.

The Secretary-General, in a statement issued by his spokesperson, also noted the agreement to facilitate the immediate start of the construction of 12 UN education and health facilities.

“The Secretary-General has long called for a significant shift in strategy towards meeting the great needs of Gaza’s population,” said the statement. “Further steps must now follow to meet those needs and to allow the United Nations to accelerate and expand its efforts.”

Ban, the Special Coordinator and other senior UN officials have repeatedly called for ending the blockade against Gaza, which Israel imposed on the territory for what it called security reasons after Hamas, which did not recognize Israel’s right to exist, ousted the Fatah movement in the Strip in 2007.
