中东特使称:以色列准备放松对加沙封锁

中东特使布莱尔说，以色列原则上同意放松对加沙地带的封锁。布莱尔星期一在卢森堡和欧盟外交部长们举行会谈后说的这番 话。
 
以色列没有立即作出评论。自上个月以色列突击队对一支前往加沙的救援船队发动致命突袭,打死9名亲巴勒斯坦活动人士以来，这个犹太 国家受到巨大的国际压力，要求其停止对加沙的封锁。
 
布莱尔表示，以色列承诺允许一些人道和商用物资进入加沙地带，但将继续禁运所有武 器。
 
以色列内阁将成立一个“独立公开委员会”，调查上个月的突袭事件。在突袭中身亡的包括一些土耳其活动人士。土耳其政府星期一驳斥以 色列的调查是“不充分的”，并要求在联合国主持下进行国际调查。

Mideast envoy Tony Blair says Israel has agreed in principle to ease its blockade of the Gaza Strip.
 
Mr. Blair spoke after talks in Luxembourg Monday with European Union foreign ministers.
 
There was no immediate comment from Israel. The Jewish state has come under intense international pressure to end the blockade since launching a deadly raid last month on an aid flotilla headed to Gaza. Israeli commandos killed nine pro-Palestinian activists in the raid.
 
Mr. Blair said Israel has pledged to let in some humanitarian and commercial goods. The former British prime minister said the Israelis would continue blocking any arms shipments to Gaza.
 
Israel's Cabinet is setting up what it calls an "independent public commission" to examine last month's raid.
 
Those killed in the assault included Turkish activists. The Turkish government Monday dismissed the Israeli inquiry as "insufficient," and demanded an international investigation under U.N. auspices.
