Livni to Egyptian FM: Put a stop to weapons smuggling into Gaza
By Barak Ravid ,Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Gaza Strip, Israel, Egypt 

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni told her Egyptian counterpart Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Tuesday that Cairo must put a stop to weapons smuggling into the Gaza Strip.

At a summit of Middle East and European foreign ministers in Lisbon, Livni told Aboul Gheit that Gaza was turning into a dire regional problem and that Egypt must act decisively along the its border with the Strip to halt the weapons smuggling.

An estimated $20 million is smuggled into the Gaza Strip each month through the Philadelphi Route, according to Democratic Representative Gary Ackerman, chairman of the U.S. House Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia.

In an interview with Haaretz on Monday, Ackerman pointed an accusing finger at Egypt, arguing that Cairo's failure to control the Sinai border with the Gaza Strip helps to empower Hamas.

"Any way that you help the government in Gaza, the illegal government in Gaza, you further hurt Abu Mazen [Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas]," the congressman added.

Ackerman expressed hope that the Egyptians "are not intentionally" trying to strengthen Hamas, but said that "that is the effect."

Ackerman was visiting Israel to take part in the Saban Forum, an annual meeting for U.S.-Israel dialogue organized by the Saban Center for Middle East Studies at the Brookings Institute.

Ackerman said that the security situation along the Philadelphi Route has been increasingly deteriorating.

"The smuggling provides somewhere between 12 million and 20 million dollars to the economy of a rogue government that staged a coup against the wishes of the Palestinian people," said Ackerman.

The congressman also raised the possibility that "there may be more of a financial incentive for some people to be acting in a more corrupt way on the Egyptian side, to allow this [smuggling] to happen."

Ackerman stressed that "Egypt is not helping as much as it can. It can certainly do a better job on that border."

Ackerman said that intelligence information has revealed the smuggling of more people, materials and arms than ever, and that the type of weaponry being brought into the Strip was more sophisticated and with higher destructive capacity.

The Jewish congressman from New York is leading a hardline stance against Egypt on the issue of arms smuggling into the Strip from Sinai. Several months ago, Ackerman initiated a move with the support of another New York legislator, Nita Lowey, which froze $200 million of the total of $1.3 billion Egypt receives in military aid every year from the United States.

Ackerman says that freezing $200 million "is not going to do major damage to the Egyptian army's budget, but it is certainly a signal that if they are going backward, we are going backward. There is a great deal of money that we are giving them, and it is important to the Egyptian army. I hope that this expression of no-confidence from the Congress and the United States will result in greater attention to solving this issue."

Ackerman said that the Egyptians have never done a sufficiently good job on this issue, but noted that the situation was better in the past.

"We have a very serious problem understanding why this is going on, and have made it very clear [to the Egyptians] in a financial way."

Ackerman said he met with a group of senior Egyptian officers several weeks ago in Washington, and that they had briefed him and other legislators on the activity on the Sinai side of the border.

In a document provided to the legislators, the Egyptians maintained that Israeli soldiers were involved in assisting the smugglers. Ackerman rejects such possibility.

"Every organization has corrupt people, but that is not the point," he said. For the Egyptians, "these are not random cases, but it appears to be systematic. It seems that decision-makers in Egypt have decided to ignore the situation and look the other way, and this is unacceptable for the U.S."
