Israeli Cabinet Celebrates New East Jerusalem Settlement 
---------------------------------------------------------



Egypt's decision to unseal the Rafah crossing is a major blow to the
Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip. In other news from the region,
Israeli cabinet members appeared at a ceremony in East Jerusalem
Wednesday to mark the recent completion of a new Jewish settlement on
occupied Palestinian land. A few dozen protesters rallied outside to
oppose the settlement expansion.

Mossi Raz: "I have heard Mr. Netanyahu yesterday. He said that some
settlements are going to be out of the Israeli border. And I call upon
the Prime Minister to say that all the settlements will be outside of
the Israeli border, and this settlement will be outside of the Israeli
border."
