WASHINGTON — The Obama administration considers Israel’s blockade of Gaza to be untenable and plans to press for another approach to ensure Israel’s security while allowing more supplies into the impoverished Palestinian area, senior American officials said Wednesday.
The officials say that Israel’s deadly attack on a flotilla trying to break the siege and the resulting international condemnation create a new opportunity to push for increased engagement with the Palestinian Authority and a less harsh policy toward Gaza.

Deadly attack? Who was attacking whom?
Nice try, democRAT liar-pigs...
The list, ping
F ‘some’ U.S. officials, is about the only response that’s called for here.
I agree, a new tack is needed...any ship ignoring the blockade should just be sunk.
BTW, exactly right. Your comments were some of the first out of my mind on this as well.
New Israeli Tax Needed on Gaza Pleasure Boats, U.S. Officials Say
After all, Obama has done such a stellar job of keeping the US, and especially our southern border, safe and secure, he’s well qualified to lecture Israel. [Additional comments deleted by poster.]
New tact = carpet bombing.
Jist another terrorist supporting mole trying to get arms into GAZA.
No doubt. Time to break out the ERWs.
“The Obama administration considers Israel’s blockade of Gaza to be untenable...”
What about Egypt’s blockade? Is that tenable?
You filthy evil jooos just need to quietly let yourselves be butchered! /islam, the international left, the US left, obama et al, and the UN
NOT ON MY WATCH! /God Almighty
Gee, which side should we be on? /rhetorical
Sharon won the election because Israelis had gotten sick and tired of Labor’s surrender policies. Then Sharon decided he wanted to leave a “legacy,” and surrendered control of the Gaza Strip.
A gigantic mistake. I have always thought that maybe Sharon had a small stroke before his big one, because his actions in office, including the Kadima Party business, were so unlike his earlier heroism.
Those ‘U.S. officials’ have chosen their side, and would standby and watch another holocaust without so much as a word of protest. Under Bush, the Palestinians hated us because they feared us. Under Obama, EVERYBODY hates us but nobody fears us.
How, precisely, do they propose Israel keep weapons (including ballistic missiles) from being shipped to the Gaza terrorists? A Naval blockade is the only way.
Israel should adopt US Coast Guard Tactics,
Warnings via Radio
Warnings via Megaphone
Warning shots across the bow
Shots to engine room/outboard engines
Doesn’t the United States and the Kenyan Mislim leader have enough problems right here with our own country? Why are we telling other sovereign countries what to do in theirs.?
Amazing how the enemedia and especially NY Slimes writers can write a whole story from "anonymous officials" and get into the head of Mr. Netanyahu to tell us what he thinks. Preposterous!
