Prime Minister of Palestine: We thank Egypt and demand that Israel open all crossings

Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh said today, Tuesday, that the forced displacement plan is still on the table of the Israeli occupation, which is now working to transform the Gaza Strip into an unlivable place, appreciating the role of the Arab Republic of Egypt in rejecting this plan.

Shtayyeh stressed that work is underway with our brothers in Egypt at the Rafah crossing to facilitate the exit of the wounded for treatment. There has been a joint operations room with Egypt since the first day of the aggression, and there is a consular team from the Palestinian embassy in Cairo present at the Rafah crossing to facilitate any official procedures for the wounded and their companions.

Shtayyeh, the Prosecutor General of the International Criminal Court, called for the creation of a database with the names of settlers, because their presence in the West Bank is illegal, and also illegal, for the purpose of prosecuting them.

Shtayyeh stressed the necessity of delivering all possible aid to the Gaza Strip, noting that the friendly state of Cyprus had submitted a proposal to establish a “water corridor” to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip, but what is worrying is that these ships are for deportation, and his government has informed friendly Cyprus of its rejection of this mechanism. , despite her awareness of the sincerity of intentions.

Shtayyeh stressed that what is required of Israel is to open the existing crossings leading to the Gaza Strip, and not limit them to the Rafah crossing only, and for ships to transport food and medicine to be through the existing ports and not across the sea.

In another context, Shtayyeh touched on the occupation’s continued withholding of clearing funds, saying: “Israel continues to withhold our funds, and makes unjustified and illegal deductions whose goal is only political, to isolate Gaza from the rest of the Palestinian territories.”

Shtayyeh said: “We condemn everyone who encourages Israel to continue killing. We are monitoring the policy of the United States, which is marred by chaos, internationally confused, and in support of Israel. It says it is against killing civilians, but it prevents resolutions in the Security Council to stop the war. This support is unconditional for Israel, without That Israel abide by the rules of international humanitarian law.”

Shtayyeh pointed out that the solution lies in ending the occupation, realizing the rights of the Palestinian people, and recognizing Palestine.
