GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The spokesman for the Hamas Movement, Abdul Latif Al-Qanou, said in a statement on Thursday that the Rafah crossing is and will always be a Palestinian-Egyptian crossing.
“The criminal Zionist occupation bears full responsibility for its closure of the Rafah crossing as part of its military operation against our Palestinian people,” Al-Qanou added.
He elaborated that the Israeli aggression against Rafah has deepened the humanitarian crisis, as a result of banning aid delivery and denying the people of Gaza their right to movement, travel and receive treatment abroad.
The Israeli occupation army took control over the Rafah crossing on May 7 and closed it amid the continuation of its ground invasion of Rafah under ongoing aerial and artillery bombardment.
