The holy fasting month falls on Sept. 2 in the Palestinian territories, and the exceptional opening before Ramadan is aimed to facilitate the entry and departure of the urgent medical cases, students and residents of Arab countries who have been stranded in Gaza or in Egypt, Taha said.
Meanwhile, he denied reports that Egypt is to open its border with Gaza on Tuesday to allow movement of people stuck on the two sides.
On Monday, some Palestinians stuck in Egypt said they were told that the Rafah border crossing will be opened on Tuesday.
Israel ordered the closure of Rafah crossing in 2006 when Palestinian factions kidnapped an Israeli soldier from his base in southeast Rafah. However, the crossing was working from time to time.
But last summer when Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip, the crossing was completely closed since Hamas routed forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
According to a U.S.-brokered deal in 2005, the crossing can not function without the presence of Abbas' presidential guard forces and European Union monitors.
In its talks with Egypt, Hamas rejects the U.S.-brokered deal and demands a role for its forces on the crossing.
