Egyptian
military rulers have warned Israel against interfering with its plan to
permanently open the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip.
Egypt's Chief of Staff of armed forces Sami Anan says the opening of Rafah is not a matter of Tel Aviv's concern.
"Israel does not have the right to interfere in Egypt's decision to
open the Rafah border. This is an Egyptian-Palestinian issue," Anan
wrote on his Facebook page.
On Thursday, Egypt announced a plan to open the border crossing within days.
The move will allow the flow of people and goods in and out of Gaza without Israeli permission or supervision.
Egypt has kept the crossing largely closed since Israel imposed a blockade on Gaza in 2007.
The crippling blockade on the territory has triggered a humanitarian crisis.
The siege has left nearly one and a half million Gazans in dire need of basic supplies.
Under the US-backed former dictator Hosni Mubarak regime, Egypt

Before 1935 the whole of Khuzestan was called Arabestan and was a semi-independent autonomous Arab land . It wasn't until the dreaded Kafir, Zionist and British Stooge Reza Shah who came along and annexed Arab Land and deprived most Arabs of their way of life including giving children certain Arabic names. In Tehran it is even fobidden to build Sunni mosques which is a religion of Iranian Arabs and Palestinians.
Khuzestan is larger than Gaza and is one of the largest Arab lands under occupation by a foreign enemy!
