Hamas says Egypt ready to help Gaza
Hamas leader Ismail Haniya says recent talks in Egypt could lead to improving the humanitarian suffering in the impoverished Gaza Strip.
The head of the Palestinian terrorist group says it found Egyptian officials “ready to work to address the crises in Gaza” during a recent trip in which Hamas leaders, led by its Gaza head Yahya Sinwar, met with Egyptian officials in Cairo.
“The Egyptian authorities issued a package of measures and policies and fuel began to enter to the power plant, and work continues at the Rafah crossing to reopen it in the near future.”
“The result will have the effect of alleviating the burden of the siege against our people in the Gaza Strip,” Haniya says.
He has not given further specific details.
