IDF: Egypt Not Living Up to Agreement on Sealing Gaza Border
(Jerusalem Post) Arieh O'Sullivan - Head of Southern Command Maj.-Gen. Dan Harel, the IDF's next military attache in Washington, says Egypt is not living up to its agreement to seal the Philadelphi corridor with its beefed up forces. "They are not preventing the smuggling on the border or within Egypt proper. A lot of ammunition and weapons are coming from Sinai," says Harel. "If they decided to end the smuggling of so many terror weapons - I am talking of thousands of everything - then in my opinion there wouldn't be any smuggling. The way it looks now is very bad." "The problem is not one of a border, but a region. These weapons are coming from some place. They are traveling across the Sinai. They are coming from Egyptian citizens, and these Egyptians are selling them to the Palestinians. We expect them to impose their laws on these Egyptian citizens."
