JERUSALEM Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the immediate closure of the main cargo crossing with the Gaza Strip on Monday in response to Palestinians launching incendiary kites and balloons into Israel.

Netanyahu vowed to use a "heavy hand" against Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza, and said more steps would be taken, without elaborating.

Israel's military said the Kerem Shalom crossing is shut until further notice except for humanitarian aid, medical supplies and food.

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum called the move "a new crime against humanity" and called on the international community to intervene.

Bibi talks exceptionally well

but his government never cleans out the terrorist nests.....
and his government interferes, blocks much-needed housing and community development, schools, etc for his citizens

I would definitely like to thank Bibi for helping Israel survive the damned Moslem murder gangsters... and Obama for 8 very long years........... and then hope we can see someone come to office who will catch up on the building crisis (it is not only in Samaria and Judaea, its in the Jordan River Valley, Negev, Galilee, Jerusalem)...
and the next time the murder gangsters attack, eliminate them! it is long long long past due, and all this nice humanitarian patience has done is enable the Muslim murder gangsters to acquire more and more weapons and train more terrorists to launch more terrorist murder attacks on your innocent citizens. A proven losing strategy, Bibi)

Why can’t Gaza be supplied from Eqypt?

Airlifts from Saudi Arabia?

The Egyptians don’t like them either and I don’t think there is much love lost between the Palis and Saudis.
