CapitalistSwine Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Egypt To Open Rafah Border Crossing Permanently Egypt's decision Wednesday to end its blockade of Gaza by opening the only crossing to the Hamas-ruled Palestinian territory this weekend could ease the isolation of 1.4 million Palestinians there. It also puts the new Egyptian regime at odds with Israel, which insists on careful monitoring of people and goods entering Gaza for security reasons. The Rafah crossing will be open permanently starting Saturday, Egypt's official Middle East News Agency announced. That would provide Gaza Palestinians their first open border to the world in four years, since Egypt and Israel slammed their crossings shut after the Islamic militant Hamas overran the Gaza Strip in 2007. http://www.npr.org/2011/05/25/136648871/egypt-to-open-rafah-border-crossing-permanently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
