Egypt will 'respond strongly' to any Gaza border breach

2008-07-03

Bethlehem - Ma'an - Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmad Abu Al-Gheit on Thursday described Wednesday's storming of the Rafah crossing by thousands of angry Palestinians as 'a ridiculous and irresponsible attempt to destroy the borders between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.'
As I remember, this was the guy who mentioned 'leg breaking' as a possible deterrent to crashing the border.

Have the Paleos toss a few more rocks and Ahmad will be discussing 'head-shooting' ...

Seven thousand Palestinians stormed the Rafah crossing on Wednesday and were pushed back by Egyptian security. Egypt had promised to open the crossing, in response to an appeal from Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas on his recent visit to the country. The crossing was to be opened to let approximately two hundred Palestinians stranded in Egypt back into Gaza but many more attempted to cross.

'We will not accept any breach of the Egyptian territories. We will not accept a forced breakthrough into Egyptian territory,' Al-Gheit said, adding, 'Palestinians are dear brothers who we allow to cross according to their needs and well keep on doing this.'
Of course we love our Pali brothers. As long as they stay where they belong...

That's what tunnels are for ...

An Egyptian security source confirmed that Egypt will 'respond strongly' to any further attempts to storm its borders with the Gaza Strip, adding that Wednesday's events were 'a violation of the agreement between Egypt and Palestinians.'
