#8  2 days. Enough time to get stuff smuggled and people not in the network will be getting pissed by then.

#6  Are we voting for a major attack in Egypt or a suicide bomber in the crossing itself, aimed at the Hamas guards? Both are possibilities nowadays.

So the Palestinians will open the gate on their side. But will the Egyptians open the gate on their side? No mention of Egyptian action.

#2  A bit on the pessimistic side, but I'm going with 4 hours. They won't be able to help it, bless their black little hearts.
