Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz ordered the nation’s defense officials on Tuesday to continue work to develop a new Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism designed to supervise materials entering the Gaza Strip and ensure that Hamas does not exploit them for its weapons manufacturing program.
Gantz held a situational evaluation meeting at the headquarters of the Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration, near the Erez Border Crossing between Israel and Gaza. The administration is responsible for implementing Israeli civilian policies for the Strip.
According to a statement released by Gantz’s office, the Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism will closely supervise building projects in the coastal enclave and analyze the activities of border crossings.
