EU Monitors to Close Egypt-Gaza Crossing Due to Continued Smuggling
[Ma'an News Agency-PA] The European monitors stationed at the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt have informed the Palestinian presidency of their intention to close the crossing and not resume their work due to continued violations by Palestinians of the crossings agreements, a reliable Palestinian source declared. According to the source, the EU observers complained that Hamas Palestinian Legislative Council member Marwan Abu Ras "smuggled" $1 million into Gaza in the last 48 hours against the monitors' wishes.
