Israel expands Gaza fishing zone after demonstrations
Along with several other humanitarian gestures, Israel announced it would expand the offshore fishing zone by 15 nautical miles.
Israel on Wednesday said it would expand the fishing zone off the Gaza Strip coast following a wave of Palestinian protests against Israel's restrictions on the impoverished enclave.
The Office of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the Israeli defense body that handles civilian affairs in the Palestinian Territories, announced the expansion along with a series of other goodwill gestures on Wednesday.
