Note to Murad Muwafi:
You are quoted as saying the crossing will be open because you want to "alleviate the suffering of our Palestinian brothers after the Israeli attack" on the flotilla." I would insist on you and others in the Egypt Government not to call the people of Gaza your Brother unless you leave the crossing open for good and have Egypt stop acting like Judas. An Egyptian official says the government is temporarily lifting its blockade of the Gaza Strip to allow aid into the area a day after Israel raided an international flotilla carrying supplies to the Palestinian territory and killed as much as 20 activists or more.
The governor of northern Sinai, Murad Muwafi, says President Hosni Mubarak ordered the opening of the border crossing to Gaza in the town of Rafah for several days.
Muwafi says the opening of the crossing – which Egypt sealed after Gaza was taken over by Hamas freedom fighters in 2007 – is an effort to "alleviate the suffering of our Palestinian brothers after the Israeli attack" on the flotilla.
