Report: Egypt told PA’s Abbas he could visit Gaza if Israel approves; Jerusalem refused
Egypt agreed to allow Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to enter the Gaza Strip via the Rafah Crossing, but conditioned this on an Israeli approval that never came, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
Citing a diplomat from an unnamed Middle Eastern country, the report says the PA asked Israel and Egypt to help facilitate Abbas’s promised visit to Gaza. Cairo didn’t object but said Jerusalem had to okay it. Israel refused the request.
