Israel: Gazans Trying To Attack Us From Sinai So Let's Give Them Supplies And Energy
Israel will not tolerate the continued threat to its security posed by Hamas militants' breach of the Gaza Strip's border with Egypt, officials in Jerusalem told Haaretz on Sunday. "Israel will not allow the continuation of the current state where its security interests are being compromised," the officials said, days after the Hamas regime blew up the barrier along the Strip's border with Egypt. The officials added that Prime Minster Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas see eye to eye on what they perceive as the need to refrain from negotiations with Hamas.Following the border breach, Israeli defense officials have expressed concerns that militants from the Gaza Strip may attack towns along Israel's long border with Sinai. Meanwhile, Olmert told Abbas during their meeting Sunday that Israel would not let a humanitarian crisis develop in Gaza.
The rest of the article goes on to detail how Olmert and Abbas are hoping that the Egyptians will step in, meet their treaty obligations, and enforce security along the border. No really, that's exactly what's going to happen.
