PM Sharon's Office: Nothing Preventing Egypt From Independently Opening Passageway With Gaza After IDF Pullout
2005-08-28
IMRA asked Raanan Gissin, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Foreign Media Advisor, this morning if there is any understanding between Israel and Egypt that would prevent Egypt from opening a passageway between Egypt and Gaza without Israel's consent or approval once Israel pulls out from the Philadelphi Corridor.
Gissin replied that while Egypt has committed not to transfer weapons to the Palestinians that once Israel leaves the Philadelphi Corridor they can do there as they see fit - in terms of operating passageways - subject to that restriction.
