Caption:
Palestinian security forces loyal to Hamas stand next to a portrait of Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas outside the Rafah border crossing with Egypt that is now under the control of the Palestinian Authority, in the southern Gaza Strip on November 18, 2017. The Gaza-Egypt border is being temporarily opened for three days after an Egyptian-brokered deal restored the Palestinian Authority administrative control over Gaza instead of Hamas. Palestinians are hoping the open border crossing will become permanent. Photo by Ismael Mohamad/UPI
