Whew! That Was Close!

Hamas apparently decided that having an open border takes away too many chances to bash Israel:

The ruling Hamas militant group has closed the Gaza Strip's border with Egypt to protest what it says are repeated delays at the crossing since Egypt permanently opened it last week.

I mean, really. When you have a fauxtilla planned to run the "Israeli" blockade, having the border open through Egypt is a bit inconvenient for the narrative, right? But if the border with Egypt is closed, too, as it has been in the past when only Israel was blamed, then the problem is more than manageable.
