La frontière de Rafah entre l’Egypte et Gaza reste fermée pour la plupart des Palestiniens qui veulent voyager.
Mais le gouvernement de Sissi vient d’émettre un nouveau diktat : pas question pour les Palestiniens qui le souhaitent de se rendre dans les pays suivants : Algérie, Turquie, Qatar, Iran, Malaisie, Libye.
Tout cela parce que le maréchal Sissi n’entretient pas de bonnes relations avec ces pays !
Des étudiants palestiniens qui ont obtenu une bourse pour aller étudier en Turquie s’en trouvent du coup empêchés, rapporte le site Days of Palestine.

Egypt bans Gazans travelling to six countries
Days of Palestine, Gaza Strip –Egyptian authorities have banned Palestinians travelling to Turkey, Qatar and four other countries via the Rafah Crossing, official said on Saturday.
“Egyptian authorities have told the border authority that students and citizens seeking to travel to Turkey, Malaysia, Algeria, Iran, Qatar and Libya will not be dealt with,” border official Ismail Abul-Jabeen said in a press release.
Egypt’s relations with Turkey and Qatar soared following last year’s ouster of elected president Mohamed Morsi by the military.
Located on the border between Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip, the Rafah crossing has in recent years been a major sore point in Egyptian-Palestinian relations.
The crossing – which is dedicated to the movement of persons, foodstuffs and medicine – has been kept tightly shut for the most part by Egyptian authorities, especially since Morsi’s overthrow.
Gaza residents frequently complain that the crossing closure by Egypt has compounded the suffering already induced by Israel’s eight-year-old blockade of the coastal territory.
A 27-year old student, who obtained a scholarship for PhD study in Turkey, told Days of Palestinian he was “disappointed” with this decision.
“I had great hope to pursue my PhD study in Turkey, where I got a scholarship, but this made me disappointed,” he said on condition of anonymity.
During the ceasefire talks between the Palestinians and the Israeli occupation, which ended the 51-day Israeli war on Gaza, Egypt pledged to open the Crossing for the least humanitarian needs.
Israeli occupation has been imposing strict siege since mid-2007. It has been blocking the movement of goods and individuals and many Palestinians lost university places and hundreds died because of being unable to travel to have treatment abroad because of this siege.
