Head of Palestinian committee for Gaza says reopening Rafah 'window of hope'

The head of a Palestinian technocratic committee established to oversee the day-to-day governance of Gaza said Monday that Israel's reopening of the Rafah border crossing offered a "window of hope" for Palestinians in the territory.

"This step is not merely an administrative measure; rather, it marks the beginning of a long process to reconnect what was severed and to open a genuine window of hope for our people in the Gaza Strip," Ali Shaath said in a statement.

The crossing -- the main gateway between Gaza and Egypt -- was reopened in a limited capacity earlier on Monday.
