(Jerusalem Post) Lior Akerman - An agreement reached this week in Cairo between Hamas leaders in Gaza and Egyptian intelligence leaders seeking to close all ISIS smuggling routes between the Strip and Sinai has no real strategic importance. Hamas watching out for smugglers is like leaving the cat to guard the cream. It's clear to everyone that it's in Hamas' best interest to keep smuggling routes open so that it can continue bringing in goods, weapons, technological equipment, money and fighters, as well as offering ISIS logistical support in Sinai. Hamas will do everything in its power to create an image that will convince the Egyptians to give it the food, electricity and equipment Gaza so badly needs. But let's not be naive in thinking that while Hamas is earnestly guarding the old tunnels, other Hamas operatives aren't busy building new ones and preparing for their next confrontation with Israel. The writer is a former brigadier-general who served as a division head in the Israel Security Agency.2017-07-14 00:00:00Full Article
