AL-ARISH (Egypt), July 28: Egypt and Israel have agreed to allow some 600 Palestinians stranded in Egypt for weeks to cross into the Palestinian territories through Israel beginning on Sunday, an Egyptian official said.

“Egypt and Israel have come to an agreement which will allow some 600 Palestinians stranded in Egypt to cross into Israel on Sunday and Monday,” a security coordinator at the Rafah border town said on Saturday.

The Palestinians would pass through the Al-Oja cargo crossing on the Egypt-Israel border, south of the divided town of Rafah, the official said.—AFP
