Israel facilitated Monday the transfer of furniture from the Gaza Strip to Jordan, the first time such exports were allowed since Hamas's rise to power in Gaza in 2007.
The decision to allow the exports of the furniture was made in keeping with the security cabinet decision from June 2010 to expand the exports of agricultural, furniture and textile products from Gaza.
