<p>We regularly raise with the Government of Israel the urgent need to ease access
and movement restrictions on Gaza, including fishing limits. This would help to restore
the fishing industry. Our understanding is that on 9 May, Israel increased the permitted
fishing zone off the coast of Gaza to twelve nautical miles. The UK would like to
see a permanent increase in the size of the fishing zone off the coast of Gaza, in
line with the limit of twenty nautical miles stipulated in the Oslo accords.</p>
