Israel's Defense Ministry calls for lifting Gaza-Egypt border control decision
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said it was necessary to reconsider the decision to retain military control over a section of the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.
“The cabinet must immediately meet and reverse the decision made on Thursday,” Galant said, according to the Defense Ministry's press service.
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that representatives of the Palestinian Hamas movement have refused to hold real negotiations with the Israeli side since December 2023 on ending hostilities in the Gaza Strip and releasing hostages.
