GAZA, (PIC)-- Tahir Al-Nuno, the spokesman of the Palestinian government in the Gaza Strip, has stressed Thursday that his government was and still is keen on building strong and healthy relationship with Egypt, describing the Palestinian-Egyptian ties as strategic.
In this regard, Nuno expressed the confidence of the Palestinian government in Egypt's ability in dealing with the Palestinian reconciliation file, stressing his government's keenness on achieving that reconciliation.
"The Palestinian people and government totally support Egypt till it reaches the state of complete stability," Nuno said, stressing the urgency of taking a number of measures to facilitate travel across the Rafah crossing point being the only gateway that links the Gaza Strip with the rest of the world.
For his part, Dusoki stressed Egypt's keenness on achieving the Palestinian reconciliation and to restore Palestinian unity and that won't relax till such things are realized.
On the issue of the Rafah crossing, Dusoki explained that Egypt was mulling a number of measures that could facilitate the movement of the Palestinian people through it without giving Israel any chance to benefit from it, saying that such measures won't take long time although they were linked with certain factors that Egypt is trying to achieve.
