Hebrew channel: "Israel" is considering moving the Rafah crossing to the Kerem Shalom area

On Saturday, Israeli Channel 13 reported that the Israeli government is considering moving the Farah border crossing with Egypt to the Kerem Shalom area.


According to the source, moving the Rafah crossing to the border triangle between Israel, Gaza and Egypt aims to not allow Cairo to interfere in the management of the crossing, and not to enter into a conflict over this issue.


In addition, Tel Aviv believes that moving the crossing will allow Israel to conduct security checks and prevent border smuggling operations.


The Israeli channel pointed out that the Egyptian authorities did not deal positively with the Israeli proposal.


On the other hand, the channel said that the American administration believes that the idea of moving the crossing is good, but it needs economic support.


No statement was issued by Egypt regarding this proposal, while no official Israeli clarification was issued in this regard.
