Riot police watched on Friday as hundreds of Palestinians entered Egypt for the third consecutive day in search of supplies, denied them by an Israeli blockade of Gaza.
Despite the fighters' challenge to Egyptian authority, Hamas leaders accepted an offer by Cairo to host talks with the rival Fatah faction.
Fatah, led by Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, controls only the West Bank after Hamas seized total control of the Gaza Strip in June last year.

I love this defiance of "order". An order that is intent on satisfying the elite in Israel and the US. I hope Fatah sees fit to join in talks with Hamas too, so they can unite peacefully and fight this despicable occupation and siege together.
PS i meant to remind people, that in just hours from now, Israeli peace groups are going to the border of Gaza, and will give supplies to the people of gaza.
End the blockade – completely !Ceasefire now – for the sake of Sderot and of Gaza!
Saturday 26.1.08: A countrywide relief convoy and Israeli demonstration in solidarity on the Gaza border with a parallel Palestinian demonstration in the Strip.
It is impossible to keep one and a half million people in a huge prison, and if you try an explosion is bound to happen, as happened today at the Gaza Strip's border with Egypt. The residents of the Gaza Strip, like those of Israel and every other place in the world, have the fundamental right of free access to the outside word, for people and goods.
The Israeli Coalition Against the Siege continues preparations for the protest convoy to the Gaza border, on Saturday January 26, in coordination with the Palestinian Coalition which prepares parallel actions inside Gaza and in Ramallah, demanding a complete end to the blockade of Gaza.The policy of naked force, undertaken by Olmert and Barak, has utterly failed. It is neither desirable nor possible to renew the blockade. Nor will the continuing military offensive on Gaza end the shooting of missiles at Israeli territory. We’ll go to the Gaza border, in co-operation with Palestinian partners inside Gaza, to show there’s an alternative to siege and rocketfire – an alternative of ceasefire, peace and quiet, and the flourishing of Sderot and Gaza alike.
