Guidelines for Entry of Israeli Citizens into Gaza
Strip
(September 21, 2005)
Guidelines for entry of media personnel holding Israeli citizenship into the Gaza
Strip
In light of the current situation in the Gaza Strip
following the evacuation of all IDF forces and the security
risk involved in entering the area, the presence of
Israeli citizens inside the Gaza Strip is prohibited.
However, specific members of the public, allowed in
the past to enter the territories in the Gaza Strip
under PA jurisdiction
may now submit requests for special entry permits. Media
personnel holding Israeli citizenship may enter the
Gaza Strip with advance coordination with the IDF Spokesperson
Office. Media personnel are encouraged to contact the
IDF Spokesperson's office prior to their arrival at
the Erez
Crossing to allow sufficient time for authorization.
The IDF strongly emphasizes that those entering the
Gaza Strip are endangering their personal safety, for
which they are assuming complete responsibility.
In light of the abovementioned, bureau chiefs and media
personnel holding an Israeli citizenship are required
to sign a Letter of Warning, Undertaking and Indemnity.
