<p>We are concerned about the closure of the Rafah Crossing and the impact this has
on urgent medical and other priority cases in Gaza. We encourage Egypt to show maximum
flexibility on opening the crossing.</p><p>We have frequent discussions with the Government
of Israel about the need to ease restrictions on Gaza. Easing restrictions would alleviate
the suffering of ordinary Palestinians, advance construction and allow the Gazan economy
to grow. A durable agreement is necessary to safeguard Egypt and Israel's security;
this would include Hamas and other militant groups permanently ending rocket fire
and other attacks.</p>
