RAMALLAH, May 19, 2018 (MENA) - The Fatah Movement lauded late Friday the decision taken by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to keep the Rafah crossing open throughout the holy fasting month of Ramadan. Fatah spokesman Atef Abu Seif said in press statements that Egypt's national role and firm stances on the Palestinian cause have always been supportive to the Palestinian people in their struggle against the Israeli occupation. On Thursday, Sisi issued directives that the Rafah border crossing be open during Ramadan in order to alleviate the sufferings of the Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.
