Keeping Rafah Open

Grand Mufti’s of Jerusalem (Prime Minister) Ismail Haniyeh (R) watches the honor guard during his visit to the Security and Protection Forces' headquarters on 3 July 2008 in Gaza City.

Haniyeh sought to calm tensions with Egypt following a series of clashes between Egyptian Police and stone throwing protesters yesterday, in an effort to keep the Rafah crossing open.

It is very agreeable to keep Rafah crossing open, even after the recent terrorist attack as of yesterday, under one condition and one can almost be sure at this time that Egypt would agree; to keep security in place even with the crossing open until the terrorist problem in Palestine is secure.

Personal Note: I wish to thank everyone for there kindness and I am very happy, by what I see.
