The Israeli Broadcasting Authority (“Kan 11”) reported that the Coordinator of Israeli government activities in the occupied Palestinian territories, Ghassan Alyan, made an unannounced visit to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, today, Wednesday, where he met with Egyptian officials.

According to the report, Alian met with senior security officials in Egypt to coordinate the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, in addition to the restrictions that the occupation intends to impose on worshipers entering Al-Aqsa Mosque during the month of Ramadan.

According to the report, the Egyptian side is “concerned” with the restrictions that the Israeli authorities are expected to impose on the entry of Palestinian residents of the occupied West Bank to pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque during the month of Ramadan.

The Egyptian side demanded a significant increase in the amount of aid that the Israeli authorities allow to enter the Gaza Strip, which is threatened by famine due to the severe siege imposed by the occupation on the Strip since the start of the devastating Israeli war 152 days ago.

According to Kan 11, the Egyptian side also focused on the need to increase aid to the northern regions of the Gaza Strip.

The official Israeli channel stated, “Following the international pressure on Israel, especially from the United States and Egypt, it is expected that a direct route will be established from Israel to the northern Gaza Strip, at the end of this week, to bring in aid.”

"Kan 11" reported that Israel intends to open this axis in the coming days, if "no changes occur at the last minute."
