Mubarak says Gaza a "trap"
PARIS: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has rejected the idea of an Egyptian security role in the Gaza strip, describing it as a trap that would lead to conflict with the Palestinians and possibly the Israelis. "Itâs a trap set for us because we would find ourselves in a situation of confrontation with the Palestinians," he told the Paris newspaper Le Figaro in an interview published today. Curses, he figured it out! "And, if there is a problem, we could even find ourselves in conflict with the Israelis," he added. "If we try to stop the paleos from smuggling arms, weâd be in conflict with them. If we donât stop them, the IDF would kick our butts all the way to the Suez. Been there, done that, still got the T-shirt. Donât need another one, thanks." Posted by: Steve 2004-03-08 |
