A spokesman for the Palestinian Interior Minister in Gaza has denied Israeli claims that casualties from the unrest in Sinai receive medical treatment in the besieged territory, Palsawa.com reported on Monday.
“The Israeli occupation authorities’ claims regarding the wounded from Sinai receiving medical treatment in Gaza’s hospitals are false,” insisted Iyad Al-Bozom. “They have nothing to do with reality.”
He suggested that such remarks are intended to “incite” people against the Gaza Strip, damage and even sever Palestinian relations with Egypt and act as a pretext to tighten the siege.
Al-Bozom stressed that the Palestinian National Security Service does not allow “any attempt to undermine the safety and security of the border area with Egypt.”
