As diplomatic tensions between Israel and Egypt continue to rise over Israel’s continuing war on Gaza and its military’s plans to seize the strip’s southern border with Egypt, Israel is considering closing the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, Israeli broadcaster Channel 13 reports.
If Israel decides to go ahead with the move, the crossing would be placed at the Israel-Gaza-Egypt border triangle area, near Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom), and would not have any involvement from Egyptian authorities in security checks, the broadcaster says.
Its report adds that Israel has raised this issue with the Egyptians but has not yet gotten a definitive response.
