The decision by the UN General Assembly to allow the Palestinian flag to be raised at its headquarters in New York alongside those of its member states has sparked conflicting opinions on the ground in the Gaza Strip. Some hail the symbolic importance of the decision as reflecting Palestine's acceptance into the world community. Others feel it will have no bearing on the concrete situation of the Palestinian people. Hamas, however, welcomed the decision. Noor Harazeen reports from Gaza. teleSUR
