This sounds like the return of the pre-Hamas siege state. People can go in and out, but nothing goes in except through Israel. And the EU monitors were required to live in Israel so their access to Rafah was controllable. And 4 separate international bureaucracies (plus the whim of the US) have to agree on any given day that Rafah can be open and any movement at all is allowed.
This is part of the deal that got Hamas elected in the first place. |
