Egypt to reopen Gaza crossing for first time in months
|
[AlAhram] Rafah Crossing has been closed since March, preventing many Paleostinians returning to Gazoo
Egypt is due to temporarily open its border crossing with the Paleostinian Gazoo Strip later this week after almost three months of closure, Egyptian state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
has reported.
Rafah terminal, which is the only passage to the Paleostinian territory not controlled by Israel, will open Tuesday and Wednesday.
The crossing will only be operating in one direction, for outbound traffic, allowing stranded Paleostinians to return to the impoverished enclave.
Egyptian authorities have kept the frontier mostly closed since the ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in 2013, citing security concerns in the Sinai Peninsula where troops are battling an Islamist insurgency.
Egypt tightened its grip on the Rafah crossing further since October 2014, following a suicide kaboom in neighbouring Sinai that killed 33 members of the Egyptian security forces.
Authorities accused Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, which rules the Gazoo Strip, of involvement in terrorist activities in the Peninsula.
Hamas leaders have distanced themselves from violence in Egypt and say they have no armed presence outside Paleostinian areas.
