Abu Al Gheit stated in an interview with the October Egyptian magazine that the existence of Arab forces may help in ending internal clashes, may help in baring Palestinian-Israeli clashes, and may allow the Palestinians to rebuild the Gaza Strip.  

Abu Al Gheit s said that this idea is not an initiative but should be seriously considered in the Arab League.

Regarding Palestinian national dialogue, Abu Al Gheit stated that this issue cannot be discussed before the Palestinians manage to regain their national unity.

It is worth mentioning that representatives of several Palestinian factions travelled to Egypt in recent days in order to participate in national unity talks.

On Saturday, Egypt opened the Rafah border terminal to allow hundreds of residents and patients to leave or return to Gaza. The terminal is expected to remain opened for two days while Hamas movement demands that the crossing should be permanently opened.
