Egypt - Blockade of Gaza


Position Paper: Canada and Gaza

pp35.png

Following the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza in the summer of 2014, CJPME issued a series of recommendations captured in this position paper.  In addition to calling for an impartial inquiry into events of the summer, the position paper also calls Canada to address the many long-terms issues inflaming the Israel-Palestine relationship, particularly those impacting Gaza.


The Blockade of Gaza, 2007-2010

CJPME Factsheet 88, published June, 2010: From June, 2007, until June 2010, Israel and Egypt imposed an extremely harsh blockade on Gaza after Hamas, an Islamist political party with an armed wing, took control of Gaza in June, 2007. Following Israel’s attack on a Gaza aid flotilla on May 31, 2010, and the international condemnation that resulted, Israel started to take steps to loosen the blockade. This factsheet looks at the justifications offered by Egypt and Israel for blockading Gaza, how they enforce it, what products are allowed and not allowed into the strip, and what are the most salient social and health impacts of the blockade.

Many people around the world see Egypt as complicit in the human rights abuses imposed on Gaza for its collaboration with the Israeli-led blockade of the Strip.
