Arouri and a number of other Hamas operatives are currently based in Lebanon, where they met last month with Iranian officials.

Both the Hamas in Gaza and the PLO in Judea and Samaria have not held parliamentary elections in more than a decade, and it remains to be seen who would win such an election – should the PA government call one.

On Saturday evening, Haniyeh released a statement saying, "The reconciliation is a will and a decision, to prevent Israel from swallowing up the West Bank and continuing its siege of the Gaza Strip.”

If anyone asks, this is why Israel closes off the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Authority for the duration of Jewish holidays: to commemorate the Park Hotel massacre.

The trip is taking place as part of the dissolution of Gaza’s administrative committee, brokered with Hamas by Egypt.

Greenblatt might have been more horrified to have seen what was going on in the streets of Gaza . . .

The tunnel was located in Rafah.

The move also represents Hamas' aspiration to get a seat at the table should President Donald Trump's efforts at restoring the "peace process" with Israel succeed.

The term “resistance tunnels” refers to those that are used specifically for military purposes.

In the Egyptian plan, Israel releases Hamas terrorists, and in exchange Hamas will give Israel some information on the missing Israelis they're holding.

Yahyah told Maurer that any swap deal between Hamas and Israel should “guarantee the release of Palestinian prisoners.”

"It is important to open the closures . . . It is important to avoid the buildup of the militantism that can undermine the confidence between the two people."

“Hamas continues to arm itself in order to harm Israel as it exploits the generous humanitarian aid provided by the international community,” said Danon.

"After years of being ashamed and staying at home, unable to work and unwilling to show my hand to people, I have finally been given some hope of my life returning to the way it used to be."

The family was not interested in a rushed, last minute meeting with the US Secretary-General.

“If the enemy is holding one of our soldiers, Israel should be holding 200 of theirs at the end of a war."

“Hamas is displaying appalling cruelty by holding our citizens and soldiers. The UN must act to ensure their return to Israel.”

The rockets were test fired towards the sea.

"202 of the Shalit swap prisoners have since been arrested by the defense establishment for involvement in terrorism, and 111 of them are still in Israeli prisons."

UNRWA representative Scott Anderson said the children, 84 of whom had never been out of Gaza before, were "over the moon" with excitement.
