Egypt’s authoritarian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has ordered the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip opened until the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan on June 14. It would be the longest such opening in years and comes after Israel shot and killed 111 Palestinians and injured thousands more at the “Great March of Return” nonviolent protests that began on March 30.
