If you want aid materials to be permitted to enter, they will almost inevitably come from Israeli sources, an EU official said. I dont think youll find it written down anywhere in official policy, but when you get to negotiate with the Israelis, this is what happens. It increases construction and transaction costs, and is a political problem that has to be dealt with. As well as Israels security restrictions on aid, it can be very difficult to export materials to Gaza, the official said. A lot of goods for a Gaza private sector reconstruction project we had, ended up being held in Ashdod port for very lengthy periods of time - months if not years - so there was de facto no alternative but to use Israeli sources.
