Al Mezan Center for Human Rights and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel condemn the tightening of the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip by the Israeli Military.
The Israeli military tightened the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip, and Al Mentar (Karni) Crossing – the only trade passage for the Gaza Strip - is still closed since 15 January 2006.
The Israeli military claims that the closure of Karni Crossing is due to security threats.

CFL ALERT: TELL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THAT YOU OPPOSE THE DRACONIAN MEASURES AGAINST PALESTINIANS IN THE ROSS-LEHTINEN AND LANTOS RESOLUTION.
*Representatives Ros-Lehtinen and Lantos have sponsored a resolution calling for devastating and extreme measures against the Palestinians to punish them for electing a Hamas led Palestinian Authority. This resolution calls for a ban to all financial aid to the PA; a travel ban on all representatives of the PA; ending all financial support for UN programs linked to the PA (including food and education programs); closing PLO offices in Washington; and restricting the movements of the Palestinian representative to the UN.
