Haneyya gov’t asks Egypt to restrain Israeli provocation

The Gaza government of Ismail Haneyya has categorically denied Israeli allegations that elements from Gaza infiltrated into the Egyptian Sinai desert and fired rockets at Eilat.

Taher Al-Nunu, the government’s spokesman, said in a terse statement on Sunday that the remarks by Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu constituted clear provocation against the Gaza Strip.

Nunu asked the “brothers in Egypt” to intervene and end such provocation and restrain the Israeli aggressive intentions against the coastal enclave.
