BRUSSELS, - European institutions supporting the Palestine cause have issued a statement on Saturday saying that the Egyptian steel wall along the borders with Gaza Strip was only serving the Israeli interest.
The statement said that the wall was sending a wrong message and putting a question mark on the Egyptian positions.
It noted that completion of that wall would equate between the Egyptian and Israeli stands regarding the siege on Gaza.
The statement said that the Egyptian decision was met with dismay on the part of those institutions, which hoped that Cairo would open the Rafah border crossing with Gaza and not build a steel wall to block the smuggling of food and medicine to the people of Gaza.
It finally asked Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak to adopt an immediate decision to cancel the building of the wall and to open the Rafah terminal permanently.PIC
