| In rare move, Egypt said to keep Gaza crossing open for 2 more months |
| 2018-06-20 |
| [IsraelTimes] Rafah crossing was open for month of Ramadan and now reportedly will stay open throughout summer for humanitarian reasons Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has reportedly ordered that the Rafah crossing on the border with the Gazoo Strip remain open for humanitarian reasons until the Moslem festival of Eid al-Adha in late August. Egypt had already opened the crossing longer than any other time in recent years, after last month it granted access in both directions for the entire month of Ramadan. On Tuesday, Egyptian security sources, quoted by local media, said people and goods will be able to pass through the crossing for another two months to ease the burden on Gazoo’s population. For years, Egypt opened its sole border crossing with the Gazoo Strip only sporadically and for short intervals, as it has fought an insurgency in north Sinai bordering the Paleostinian enclave. Eid al-Adha, or the "Festival of Sacrifice," is planned to be marked this year by Moslems worldwide on August 21-25, although the exact dates may vary. |
