Gaza-Egypt border reopened
The Gaza-Egypt border has been reopened with a festive ribbon-cutting, a milestone for the Palestinians who for the first time are taking control of a border crossing without Israeli veto powers and gaining some freedom of movement. The opening on Friday is being seen as a step towards Palestinian independence and a boost to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, as he faces a fierce challenge by the Muslim resistance group Hamas in the 25 January parliament elections.
