Egypt reopens Rafah crossing after Sinai deadly attack
2012-08-11
[Iran Press TV] Egypt has reopened the Rafah border crossing, shut after 16 Egyptian border guards were killed during an attack in the Sinai Peninsula.

The move came on Friday, a day after Paleostinian resistance movement, Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, urged Cairo to reopen the vital border crossing.

"I call upon my brother, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi to open the Rafah crossing, to regain a lifeline for Gazoo," Rooters quoted democratically-elected Paleostinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
as saying on Thursday.

"Gazoo could never be anything but a source of stability for Egypt," Haniyeh added.
Or an example of what not to emulate...
Egypt closed the Rafah crossing after an attack on a security checkpoint in Sinai, which left at least 16 Egyptian border guards dead and seven others injured on Sunday night.

On Monday, an official statement by the Islamic resistance movement condemned the attack and dismissed the idea that forces of Evil from inside Gazoo may have been involved.

Some 800 people normally leave for Egypt and beyond through the Rafah crossing, the only passageway leading to the rest of the world for most Gazooks.
