Egypt will "break the legs of those who breach the border," foreign minister warns
Well it appears that Egypt has discovered how much joy the Palis bring with them wherever they go...Bethlehem - Ma'an The Egyptian Foreign Minister warned Palestinians against breaching the border with Egypt again, saying that "those who dare break the Egyptian border will find themselves with broken legs," the state-run Middle East News Agency (MENA) reported on Thursday. Stay over there behind the wall where we can look but not touch. We like it that way. Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, added that there are some ongoing negotiations between Egypt, the Palestinian Authority, Israel and the European Union to legally re-open the Rafah border crossing. Aboul Gheit also strongly criticized Hamas for firing homemade rockets into Israel calling those rockets as "cartoonish." He said, "These rockets that get lost in the Israeli sands give Israel the excuses it needs to launch attacks against Gaza." ...which he did not describe as "cartoonish". After Palestinians broke through the border wall on January 23rd, Egyptian security forces initially stood by while hundreds of thousands of Palestinians poured into Egypt to shop for basic supplies made scare by Israel's siege of the Gaza Strip. Egypt has since resealed the border, and has also said that it will allow the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority, not Hamas, to operate the Rafah crossing. Oh, good, the "good" terrorists. That'll make it much more secure... Posted by: tu3031 2008-02-07 |
