GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Gaza Strip should begin receiving fuel imports and consumer goods again May 12 under terms of a cease-fire agreement reached May 6 between Israel and the Palestinian factions under the auspices of Egypt, Qatar and the United Nations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the decision May 7, just two days after Israel closed the Gaza Strip's border crossings and prevented fuel imports because of a deadly, three-day military escalation between Palestinian factions and Israel that began May 3.
