JERUSALEM - A US diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks quotes American officials as saying a key Israeli cargo crossing for goods entering the Gaza Strip was rife with corruption.
It quotes a Coca-Cola executive as saying he was asked to pay more than $3,000 to get a truckload of merchandise through. The executive claimed an unidentified (Isralei) "high-level official" at the crossing headed the corruption ring.
The alleged corruption occurred a year before Hamas overran Gaza and Israel imposed an economic blockade.
At that time, however, Israeli-Palestinian violence frequently closed the border crossings.
