Palestinian experts say media coverage of Israeli easing of restrictions on Gaza has been 'greatly exaggerated,' claiming current policies are not enough to make a major contribution to Strip’s ailing economy.

The ministry has signed off on the tentative plan to raise the number of Gaza permits last week, but after militants fired a rocket toward Ashkelon shortly after 3am on Saturday, Defense Minister Benny Gantz ordered the increase frozen.

Experts say that even if 14,000 Gazans entered Israel for work every day, it would not be enough to make a significant contribution to Strip’s ailing economy due to overlapping financial and political crises.
