Tens of thousands of Hamas supporters are rallying in a Gaza City stadium to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the militant group's founding. The mass rally was not without spectacle. It had a sea of green flags, and trying to portray Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since a violent takeover in June 2007, as a symbol of strength. In Cairo Israeli and Egyptian officials were to meet in a bid to renew a six-month-old Gaza ceasefire with Hamas. However, many, including Hamas political chief Khaled Meshaal, have doubts about success.
