The Palestinian ministry of interior affairs in Gaza said it had no information if there were Egyptian intentions to open the Rafah border crossing regularly during the coming period.
“The Egyptian authorities have not informed us of any new arrangements to open the Rafah crossing” spokesman for the ministry Iyad al-Bazm told Quds Press on Sunday.
“The talk about new arrangements to open the Rafah crossing and improve its condition is only heard from media outlets” Bazm added.
He expressed hope to see the Rafah crossing opened permanently for the travel of passengers.
News reports talked recently about Egyptian intentions to improve the movement of passengers at the crossing and open it for several days every month.
The Egyptian authorities recently opened the Rafah crossing for seven days for the travel of passengers in both directions and closed it again last Monday 24 October.
