(ANSA) - CAIRO, FEBRUARY 09 - The Rafah crossing, the only access to the Gaza Strip not controlled by the Israelis, was opened by Egypt "for the first time in years for an indefinite period" and not, as usual, , only "for three-four days". This was reported in Cairo by a security source just as inter-Palestinian talks are being held in the Egyptian capital. "It is not an ordinary opening", the source underlined, referring to the passage that Egypt has almost always kept closed since October 2014 for security reasons. In Cairo, representatives of 14 factions gather in these days, including rival Hamas, in power in Gaza, and Fatah, which governs in the occupied West Bank, which has been calling for the first elections in 15 years.
