Gaza Blockade Is Over!

(Before It's News)

 

Five years of full-scale blockade of the Gaza Strip may have finally come to an end in the wee hours of Monday morning, with Egyptian officials announcing that they are opening the border unilaterally and completely to all Palestinians, including those stuck in the strip.

Officials say that all Palestinians can enter Egypt at will now, without permits or visas, and that this will include not only those in Gaza, but Palestinians entering Egypt by plane from elsewhere and means a de facto opening of the Gaza border. Indeed the first travelers entering Egypt without this restriction were seven Palestinians who arrived by plane.

The move comes just a week and a half after the Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said that he was “confident” Egypt’s President Mursi would fully open the Gaza border to trade. This opening seems even more than anyone had hoped.

Israeli officials have yet to respond to the news, but will presumably be extremely hostile to the change, as it will undermine their long-standing strategy of keeping Gazans in a state of constant siege.

  • Well who really gives a toss what the jews say or think.Maybe if they pull any stunts NATO/UN will deal with them…LOL

  • Israel is being destroyed one brick at a time because Russia/China are being forced to defend themselves and MOSSAD false flags are fooling no one nowadays but thats nothing.

    The banking crisis will do more damage to the worlds international bankers than anything else and once the money has gone then NATO/UN puppets on the payroll will no longer do as they are told and if Israel (As i hope they do) try to blackmail these dirty politicians based on past actions then you will see an implosion.

    The FSA/Rebels/AL-CIAda have chemical weapons from Libya and will use them in a false flag attack but don’t be fooled Israel has no other cards to play even knowing that most of the world will know who is behind any WMD attack.

    So few jews, so many trouble
