Member of Knesset Haim Jelin (Yesh Atid) has responded to the closure of the Kerem Shalom freight crossing into Gaza by saying, "The crossing has not been closed and the only things that will not be transferred to Hamas are the building materials with which they are building terrorist tunnels."
Writing on Twitter in response to Islamic Jihad claims about the decision, the former head of the Eshkol Regional Council said, "The only crime against humanity is the fires, and their luck is that the cabinet does not regard it as terrorism."
