US EditionOne Palestinian dies and Israel shuts down main crossing with Gaza after outbreak of border violence
- Israel has implemented a ban on Palestinian laborers from Gaza due to an escalation of protests and tensions along the border. This follows increased visits by nationalist Jewish activists to the Jerusalem holy site, raising Palestinian concerns about division or takeover of the site.
- The protests, organized by Hamas, are in response to Israeli provocations and an Israeli blockade on Gaza. The loss of an economic lifeline due to the closure of a pedestrian passageway from Gaza to Israel has exacerbated the situation. Additionally, violent confrontations have resulted in several casualties.
- The ongoing violence is expected to have wider implications for the region, as warned by the official spokesman for the Palestinian Presidency. Both parties continue to hold their ground, with Israel justifying the blockade as necessary to prevent arming of Hamas.
