Turns Out, Egypt Not Pro Israeli Security
Foreign Minister Shalom has had it up to here with Egypt's unwillingness to fulfill treaty obligations:
Egypt is not doing enough to stop the flow of weapons into the Gaza Strip, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said in a Saturday interview with Israel Radio... Shalom told Israel Radio that weapons smuggling is continuing. "The Egyptians didn't exactly succeed in stopping the transfer of weapons," Shalom said, adding that Israel is worried about the influx.
No one was under any illusions that the Palestinians would use the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza to regroup and rearm. But they could at least pretend to try to care about perception - we're not asking for honesty, just a little concern for appearance's sake.
