GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Travelers will be able to use the Rafah crossing on Gaza's border with Egypt on Friday without registering in advance, the Interior Ministry said Thursday.
Since the crossing reopened after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was deposed, Palestinians have had to register at the Hamas ministry before traveling, sometimes weeks in advance.
The ministry said in a statement Thursday that the registration process would be scrapped on Friday, allowing Palestinians to cross to Egypt without advance permits. It was not immediately clear if restrictions would continue to be lifted after Friday. more
