أعلنت فتح كرم أبو سالم.. إسرائيل تصر على إغلاق معبر رفح

The Israeli occupation authorities rejected Palestinian and international calls to reopen the Rafah crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip to facilitate the entry of aid trucks, reiterating that this border crossing "will remain closed until further notice." They announced the reopening of the Kerem Shalom crossing to allow aid into Gaza, following airstrikes they launched on the besieged territory after accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire agreement, which the movement denied.
An Israeli military official stated that the crossing was reopened "fully in accordance with the signed agreement" that began implementation on October 10, but Israeli authorities confirmed yesterday, Sunday, the suspension of aid entry into Gaza after accusing Hamas of violating the agreement.
Despite the occupation's announcement of the resumption of the ceasefire agreement, it continued artillery and air bombardments on Gaza today.
The ceasefire agreement stipulated the opening of all crossings and the entry of aid at a rate of at least 400 trucks daily, especially since the devastated Gaza Strip, which has been under a suffocating siege for the past two years, is suffering from a shortage of food and drinking water, in addition to medical supplies and equipment.
The Rafah crossing, located at the southernmost tip of the strip on the border with Egypt, adjacent to the Sinai Desert, is a vital outlet for the residents of Gaza.
Entry through the crossing from Egyptian territory is of utmost importance for international humanitarian workers and for trucks transporting aid and food supplies, especially the fuel essential for daily life in a territory deprived of electricity.
