[L-I] Israeli measures 'help militants'

Israeli measures 'help militants'

Israel's treatment of Palestinians is causing a humanitarian crisis, the
country's chief of staff has said.

General Moshe Yaalon made the comments in off-the-record media briefings.

He said the curfew imposed after the suicide attacks four weeks ago was
increasing support for militants and called for lifting some restrictions.

General Yaalon's comments have caused a public rift within Israel's cabinet,
reflecting frustration at its inability to end the Palestinian intifada.

Reports also say his proposals for easing the restrictions during the holy
month of Ramadan were overruled by security officials.
