"Attempting to play a more supportive role towards easing the suffering of the Palestinians was part and parcel of the new Egyptian foreign policy. In May, El-Arabi announced the imminent and permanent reopening of the Rafah Crossing with Gaza, describing the blockade as "shameful". He said "important steps" to ease the blockade would start in the following days. Egypt made the move in the hope of improving its image and enhancing its relations with Gaza. Since 2006, the Rafah Crossing had only been open for humanitarian cases and students.However, just one week after the Rafah Crossing was opened for Palestinians and after hundreds of Palestinians passed through it both ways, it unexpectedly closed its doors." ca
