If that undertaking holds, Israel in several days will reopen the crossings into Gaza. This will effectively end the economic siege imposed a year ago after Hamas seized control of Gaza from the Fatah movement of President Mahmoud Abbas. The economic relief will not come a moment too soon: On Thursday, TIME witnessed a long row of men standing shoulder to shoulder in the Gaza surf, as if gathered for prayer.
