Liberman orders lone Gaza pedestrian crossing be reopened as calm holds

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman announces that he has ordered the Erez crossing between Gaza and Israel be reopened to Palestinian pedestrians Monday morning, following a period of calm.

Liberman had ordered the lone pedestrian crossing between Israel and Gaza sealed on August 19, two days after Palestinians clashed with IDF troops at the weekly Gaza border crossing.
