Egypt Accused of Assisting Terror
(AP/Jerusalem Post) - Egypt supports Palestinian militants by turning a blind eye to arms smuggling from its territory into Gaza, Yuval Steinitz, head of the Knesset Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee, said Monday at the Jerusalem Center's Institute for Contemporary Affairs. Hamas militants in Gaza get most of their explosives and other weapons through tunnels on the Egypt-Gaza border, he said. Egypt does little to prevent the arms smuggling and has only briefly cracked down following intense U.S. pressure, he added.
