Out Of The Closet [Excerpts]
Egypt is making improvements in its border wall with Gaza, and this includes how they use the tunnel detection gear American technicians installed last year. Egypt is not intent on stopping all the smuggling, as that might result in chaos in Gaza and, in the worst scenario, a mass attempt, by Palestinians, to push their way into Egypt. Like Most Arab nations, Egypt refuses to accept Palestinians as immigrants and absorb them. Instead, Palestinians are forever to be considered refugees and outsiders. Meanwhile, Egypt trades tolerance for most of the smuggling, with an understanding that Hamas will not shelter anti-Egypt Islamic terrorists. These groups can still hide out in Gaza, but they have to keep quiet, as Hamas will round them up otherwise.
