Reports on New Gaza Border Agreement Raise Serious Security Concerns
Mossad Chief David Barnea and ISA Chief Ronen Bar met with Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Mahmoud Rashad in Cairo to discuss security arrangements for the Gaza-Egypt border • Read More
Key points included:
- Rafah Crossing Management: An agreement was reportedly reached for the Palestinian Authority (PA) to manage the Rafah Crossing under United Nations supervision, aligning with Egypt’s position of a “Palestinian-Egyptian” crossing without Israeli involvement. Hashem Yishmor!
- Netzarim Corridor: Egypt would participate in establishing a system to inspect vehicles crossing the Netzarim Corridor, operated by an Egyptian-American company. IDF forces are expected to withdraw from the corridor, though pedestrians would remain exempt from inspections.
- Philadelphi Corridor: No final agreement was reached regarding this area, with differences described as “technical” and expected to be resolved.
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Office refuted claims of PA control over the Rafah Crossing, stating that the IDF and ISA maintain supervision, while non-Hamas Gazans handle technical management under international oversight.
The terms of the agreements raise significant concerns regarding Israeli security. The proposed withdrawal from critical areas, such as the Netzarim Corridor, and the involvement of the Palestinian Authority will G-D forbid, weaken Israel’s ability to maintain control and protect its security.
