What are these Egyptian generals playing at? Confusion still reigns at the Rafah crossing with Palestinians left frustrated, going no where fast. Reports that only a few pedestrians were being allowed through yesterday.
AHRAM - Palestinian officials said Sunday they had halted operations at the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt a day after Egypt closed the border, apparently without warning.
In a statement, the Hamas head of the Palestinian side of the border crossing said it would remain closed for a second day while the two parties sought to reach agreement on the terminal's operation.
"We are waiting for the outcome of consultations between the Palestinian foreign ministry and the Egyptian government," Ayub Abu Shaar said.
He said the Palestinian side had decided to suspend operations until talks were complete after three days of confusion and coordination problems at the crossing, which Egypt reopened on a permanent basis just over a week ago. more
