Egypt to Reopen Gaza Border Crossing Until End of Ramadan
---------------------------------------------------------

Egypt's authoritarian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has ordered the
Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip opened until the end of the
Muslim holy month of Ramadan on June 14. It would be the longest such
opening in years and comes after Israel shot and killed 111 Palestinians
and injured thousands more at the "Great March of Return" nonviolent
protests that began on March 30.
