Do you know how border crossings work? On each side, you have the control of the border in the hands of the country it is in. On the Egypt side, it’s Egypt who is in comtrol. And on the Gaza side, it’s Hamas who is in comtrol. That’s the “status quo” RIGHT NOW!
What Egypt is saying is that we want to change the status quo from Hamas to the Palestinian Authority.
Are you having a hard time reading?
The P.A. has not only advocated for being the sole agency in charge of the border crossing there, but also the authority to extend it’s presence on down the line through the passage to Egypt.
Now, perhaps this tells you the Egyptians are involved at the border, but it tells me a completely different story.
The question is, are you going to admit that the P.A. is not only asking for the sole right to administer the crossing, but also the corridor?
How does that leave Egypt with a function at the crossing?
Oh well..., it doesn’t.
