Egypt-Gaza border resealed
This article highlights the governmental structure/integration with Hamas and their demanding to be recognized internationally.
"Gaza's Hamas rulers are demanding new border arrangements that would give it a say in administration. But that looks doubtful with the international community opposed to any role for the Islamic militant group in running the crossing."
"Bearded Hamas police worked in tandem with the Egyptians, trying to keep the crowd back. It was a marked change from several days ago, when uniformed Hamas men thwarted Egyptian attempts to reseal the border."
Not fully understanding the reasons for the breach, but I see it as a stunt to try to legitimize or put the spotlight on Hamas as a legit governmental organization. These attempts to "give it a say in the administration" and "working in tandem with the Egyptians," brings focus to them and seems to make them more credible as a governmental organization.
