Masai said during a podcast that he “studied at a religious institute and wanted to become a Catholic priest”, however, every time he went to Gaza, he saw the Palestinians’ faith, and would ask himself about life and about the God of the people of Palestine.

Following the decision to close the border crossings and suspend the flow of goods, both government and international organizations have issued urgent warnings about the potential return of widespread hunger to the Gaza Strip if the closure continues.

In a statement, the Palestinian movement said the attack was a “continuation of the war crimes the enemy is committing against our people.”

Al-Sallabi told the site that what is happening in Gaza is a humanitarian crime that requires urgent action from the international community to pressure the Israeli occupation to open the crossings and allow the entry of humanitarian aid.
