SOUNDBITE: (English) Mark Regev, Israeli government spokesperson:\u003cbr/\u003e\"Over the last year, Israel has expanded the volume of goods entering the Gaza Strip and in parallel we have expanded the variety of goods entering the Gaza Strip. This policy is ongoing and will continue.\"\u003cbr/\u003e17. Regev walking down street\u003cbr/\u003eIsrael has allowed some previously banned food items into the Gaza Strip, taking a small step towards easing its three-year-old blockade of the territory.\u003cbr/\u003eThe move came in the wake of worldwide criticism of last week's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound international flotilla.\u003cbr/\u003eIsraeli government spokesperson Mark Regev said on Thursday Israel had increased the volume of goods entering Gaza as well as expanding \"the variety.\"  \u003cbr/\u003eThe decision only narrowly expands the list of goods that can enter Gaza - and most of the newly permitted items are already being smuggled into the area from neighbouring Egypt.\u003cbr/\u003eA Palestinian official, who coordinates the flow of goods into Gaza with Israel, said soda, juice, jam, spices, shaving cream, potato chips, cookies and candy were now permitted. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said Israel rebuffed Palestinian requests for construction goods, raw materials for factories to operate and medical devices.\u003cbr/\u003eHe said some products have already entered Gaza, and others would cross in the coming days.\u003cbr/\u003eIsraeli officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were discussing internal policymaking, said their goal in allowing more goods into Gaza was to defuse pressure for an international investigation of the sea raid. \u003cbr/\u003eHamas spokesman, Sami Abu Zuhri, said Israel's gesture was not worth commenting on.\u003cbr/\u003eBut it is the first tangible step by Israel to temper the uproar caused by the raid, which left nine pro-Palestinian activists dead after a clash with Israeli naval commandos on one of the flotilla's ships.\u003cbr/\u003eUS President Barack Obama said on Wednesday that the situation in Gaza was \"unsustainable,\" as he met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the Oval Office.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking in Gaza on Thursday, Abu Zuhri said Obama's statement was \"empty\" and came in \"the context of US policy to beautify the Israeli siege imposed on Gaza\".\u003cbr/\u003eObama also said Israel's broad blockade on goods entering Gaza should be narrowed so that arms are kept out, but not items needed for the Palestinians' daily life and economic development.\u003cbr/\u003eIn connection with Abbas' visit, the White House announced a 400 (m) million US dollars aid package for Gaza and the West Bank.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Abu Zuhri claimed that the package was \"just numbers and fake and these amounts would be transferred to the Authority in Ramallah and will not reach Gaza\".\u003cbr/\u003eIsrael and Egypt have been enforcing an embargo on Gaza, banning all exports and allowing in only basic humanitarian and consumer items, since the territory was violently overrun by Hamas in 2007. \u003cbr/\u003eThe blockade has created a flourishing smuggling trade through tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border but has done little to loosen Hamas' hold on power.\u003cbr/\u003eWestern diplomats said on Wednesday that some European nations have proposed reviving an arrangement on the Gaza-Egypt border that included EU observers monitoring the crossing. \u003cbr/\u003eThe diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity because no decision has been made, said the proposal would be discussed at an EU meeting on Monday in Luxembourg.\u003cbr/\u003eThey acknowledged the setup - in place before Hamas' 2007 takeover of Gaza - would be difficult to restore. \u003cbr/\u003eThe reason: opening the crossing would have to include delicate security arrangements that Israel would be unlikely to accept as long as Hamas remains in control of Gaza. \u003cbr/\u003eIsrael's reluctance to lift the embargo is shared privately by many officials in the Western-backed Palestinian government in the West Bank.\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile, Israel has rejected calls for an international investigation into its May 31 raid, fearing it would be biased. \u003cbr/\u003eInstead, officials are considering an Israeli-run inquiry that includes international observers.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container
