Egypt to open Gaza border crossing for three days

Egypt will open its Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip for three days, beginning Saturday.

Senior Hamas official Ismail Haniyeh, who is currently in Egypt, is expected to return to Gaza when the crossing opens, Ynet reports.

Haniyeh has been away from the Strip for the past five months, most of which he spent in Qatar.
