PA may take over Gaza crossings, says Herzog
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOpposition chairman and Labor leader MK Isaac Herzog says the Palestinian Authority may take over the Gaza Strip’s crossings into Israel and Egypt, and in the process begin the Strip’s return into PA hands.
“In the current circumstances, there’s a possibility for a diplomatic process that will see the Palestinian Authority taking over the crossings [into Gaza], taking civil control, and thus beginning a natural dismantling process [of the Hamas regime in the Strip],” Herzog tells Army Radio.
The current five-hour humanitarian ceasefire “is an opportunity to reach a general calm in the region,” he adds.
