Hamas Movement expressed Sunday evening its appreciation to the Egyptian authorities for opening Rafah crossing over the whole past week.
Spokesman for the Movement Sami Abu Zuhri expressed his group’s hope that Egypt would return to its supportive stand of the Palestinian people’s rights and steadfastness.
Palestinian MPs affiliated with Fatah Movement have earlier called on Palestinian students who want to study abroad to register their names after Egyptian authorities vowed to facilitate their travel.
Egypt has opened the Rafah border crossing over the past week allowing hundreds of Palestinian travelers’ passage in both directions.
Egypt has largely upheld an Israeli military blockade on the Gaza Strip for the majority of the past three years since the ousting of former President Muhammad Morsi in 2013 and the rise to power of President Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi in Egypt.
