JERUSALEM — Israel is likely to significantly ease the land blockade of Gaza soon to blunt the international outcry over its deadly raid on a blockade-busting flotilla, officials said Wednesday.
Israel has been scrambling to find ways to ease the embargo and its own growing international isolation.
Officials said Israel is expected to greatly ease what gets into Gaza through land crossings.
However, the naval blockade that was at the root of the May 31 raid will remain intact because Israel wants to ensure that weapons can’t be shipped into Gaza.
