Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman advanced a plan to build a port for Gaza in nearby Cyprus, when he visited that country over the weekend, Channel 2 reported on Monday night.
The report broke after US envoys Jason Greenblatt and Jared Kushner met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the weekend and discussed humanitarian plans for the Gaza Strip.
Liberman’s Cyprus port plan would include construction of a special pier for cargo ships carrying goods destined for Gaza. They would be checked with the help of an Israeli monitoring mechanism to ensure that no weapons were being smuggled into the Hamas-controlled area.
After that they would likely be sent to Gaza directly by ferry, given that the enclave lacks a port large enough for the docking of cargo ships.
