Israel Matzav: Rafah crossing to open between Gaza and Egypt

Rafah crossing to open between Gaza and Egypt

Hamas has reopened the Rafah crossing point from Gaza to Egypt. 300 Gazans per day will be allowed to cross.

The crossing point has been open since Friday to allow Gazans to return home from Egypt and some 850 have done so.

I'm much more concerned with what comes into Gaza than I am with what goes out. Hopefully, the IDF has an eye on them.

So does that mean that they will stop trying to run Israel's 'blockade'? I doubt it. The point of that was to set up an Iranian water port in Gaza. You can't do that from the Egyptian side.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
