Dr. Mohammed Abdel Rab, the official spokesperson for the Palestinian government, confirmed that what is happening at the Rafah crossing reflects the unity of stance and shared destiny between the Palestinian and Egyptian peoples, stressing that any displacement plans will not be accepted under any circumstances. Abdel Rab explained in a phone interview with the program “Al-Sa’a 6” on Al-Hayat channel that the hardline right-wing Israeli government is imposing exorbitant conditions to obstruct any comprehensive agreement regarding Gaza, considering that its ultimate goal is to prolong the aggression and make the Gaza Strip uninhabitable.

He pointed out that the Palestinian stance should move towards unifying the West Bank and Gaza under one authority, calling on Hamas to hand over the management of the sector and the entire negotiation file to the Palestinian National Authority as the internationally recognized entity, ensuring the protection of the Palestinian people and avoiding the continuation of the war’s devastation. Abdel Rab concluded by emphasizing that the concession required from Hamas is not a concession of rights but political positions in favor of the Palestinian people’s interest and their steadfastness in facing the occupation.
