Minister Avigdor Lieberman said the Kerem Shalom gate will open at 9 am local time and the fishing zone will be extended to 14 kilometers from the coast.
The Israeli government closed Kerem Shalom on July 9 in retaliation for incendiary kite and balloon attacks by Palestinians and attempts to infiltrate its territory.
