Qatar, Egypt decry Israeli PM remarks over Palestinians ‘imprisoned’ in Gaza: AJE correspondent

Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut reports from Amman, Jordan. She says that in a growing war of words, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview saying Egypt is imprisoning Palestinians against their will in Gaza, deflecting blame after besieging the Gaza Strip for nearly two years. She adds that Netanyahu said he would be willing to open the Rafah border crossing and let Palestinians leave through there, but that they would be blocked by Egypt. This is something that is incredibly controversial because, as the Netanyahu government has outlined, it wants the Palestinians out of Gaza. The Israelis want to ethnically cleanse the territory entirely of its population.
