(Ministry of Defense - Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories)

In the framework of the implementation of the civil policy towards the Gaza Strip, the decision was made to change and update the list of controlled items to Gaza.

Following is the list of controlled items to the Gaza Strip, as of October 2012.

In accordance with the Security Cabinet's decision and the statement on Israel's policy regarding the Gaza Strip from 20 June 2010, and in order to allow for its immediate and effective implementation, here follows the list of items which may not be transferred to the Gaza Strip, without specific authorization.

It should be emphasized this list is intended to relax the limitations on the entry of civilian goods into Gaza, while preventing weapons, war materials and dual-use items from entering the Gaza Strip - this, in order to protect the citizens of the State of Israel from terrorism, keeping in mind that the Gaza Strip is controlled by Hamas, which is a terrorist organization.

The list of controlled items:

1. Missile Equipment and Munitions:

a. All items listed in the Defense Export Control Order (Defense Equipment), 2008.
b. All items listed in the Defense Export Control Order (Missile Technology), 2008

2. Dual-use items:

a. All items listed in the Defense Export Control Order (Controlled Dual-use Equipment), 2008.
b. Defense Export Control Order (Controlled Dual-use Equipment Transferred to Areas Under Palestinian Civilian Control), 2008.
c. All dual-use items listed in Appendix A (below)

3. Dual-use items required for projects (In general, items included in this list, required for approved PA-authorized projects will be allowed entry into the Gaza Strip, subject to International implementation and supervision) – as listed in Appendix B (below).

Notes

1. Any item not contained in the list of controlled items will be allowed to enter the Gaza Strip.
2. The list of controlled items will be updated from time to time.
3. Requests for authorization to transfer items included in this list to the Gaza Strip may be referred to the Gaza CLA.
