CAIRO, (PIC)-- Political bureau chairman of Hamas Khaled Mishaal discussed with Egyptian officials alternatives to the closing of Rafah tunnels that supply besieged Gaza Strip with vital supplies.
Mishaal met with Egyptian intelligence chief Rafat Shehada along with other officials over the past two days in Cairo and discussed Arab and Palestinian developments.
Well informed Palestinian sources told the PIC reporter in Cairo that Gaza developments topped the agenda of Mishaals talks in light of the continuation of the siege and the scarcity of medicines and food supplies.
The Hamas leader called for opening the Rafah border crossing on permanent basis.
They said that Mishaal asked the Egyptian officials to consider means of solving the power crisis in Gaza and the Palestinian proposal of establishing a free trade zone between Gaza and Egypt.
