Egypt Warns Hamas Against Provocations on Gaza Border
[DPA/Ha'aretz] Egypt warned Hamas Tuesday against causing any further provocations on the Gaza border a day after a Palestinian was killed and 24 Egyptians were injured in clashes between Palestinians and Egyptian border police. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul-Gheit said: "It is important that the Hamas leadership in Gaza adopts wisdom so as to discourage Palestinian masses from going close to the border with Egypt." "Egypt is generous and patient but its patience has limits," he noted. Al-Hayat quoted Egyptian officials as saying Egypt would not accept an arrangement whereby Hamas security forces would guard the Rafah border passage, as Cairo recognizes the Ramallah-based government of Mahmoud Abbas as the only legitimate Palestinian regime.
