Khaberni - Three informed sources said that Israel seeks to restrict the number of Palestinians returning to Gaza from Egypt via the Rafah crossing, to ensure that the number of Palestinians who will exit the sector is greater than those who will enter it, before the opening of the border crossing expected next week.
Ali Shaath, the head of the US-backed Palestinian technocrat committee temporarily managing Gaza, announced yesterday, Thursday, the opening of the Rafah crossing next week. The crossing is effectively the only entry and exit point for the over two million residents of Gaza.
