Here's how the US media reported it...
FOX News: Israel loosens chokehold on Gaza after deadly flotilla raid brought pressure to end blockade.
CNN: Israel to ease rules for aid to Gaza
MSNBC: Israel says it will ease Gaza blockade.
NYT: Israel to Ease Gaza Land Blockade
Washington Post: Israel to ease blockade of Gaza Strip: Sea blockade remains over reports of further aid ships arriving soon
BUT....
The Israeli paper Haaretz says there has been no easing only an announcement in english. There have been no decisions only the announcment.
Someone's not telling the truth.
Israel announces let-up to Gaza siege - but only in English - Haaretz Daily Newspaper
".... The Prime Minister's Office issued a press release in English following the meeting, which was also sent to foreign diplomats, was substantially different than the Hebrew announcement – according to the English text, a decision was made to ease the blockade, but in the Hebrew text there was no mention of any such decision.
It is not clear whether this discrepancy was a deliberate attempt to buy time in the face of international pressure, or a clerical omission on behalf of the Prime Minister's Office." ....
