| Mark Lincoln, This is no change in Egyptian policy at all. Egypt has always said that it would open the crossing to a moderate PA government that accepts the Quartet`s 3 conditions. Hamas has lost ground since they would not be part of the government at all, just in an `advisory committee`. Egypt has always held the balance of power in Gaza. They will probably put a Fatah force in Rafah along with European observers - as required by the Rafah agreement. They offered this during the Cast Lead ceasefire. Hamas rejected the offer and opted to continue the seige (based on its own inflated pride). Meanwhile $1.5 B are rotting in the bank helping nobody and rebuilding nothing. |
