Defense Minister Israel Katz says he has instructed the IDF to “prevent the entry of jihadist protesters from Egypt into Gaza.”
The remarks come as a convoy of hundreds of protesters makes its way from Tunisia, across North Africa, to the Rafah Crossing between Egypt and Gaza.
“I expect Egyptian authorities to prevent the arrival of jihadist protesters to the Egyptian-Israel border and not allow them to perform provocations and try and enter Gaza, which will endanger the security of IDF soldiers,” Katz says.
