Study: Allow Gaza Population to Expand into Sinai
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - A study published Monday in Al-Quds by Palestinian engineer Mustafa al-Farra recommends solving Gaza's "population explosion" by allowing the enclave to expand into the Sinai Peninsula, and transferring some Gaza residents to the West Bank. A number of Egyptian newspapers recently claimed that Hamas has been planning to settle Palestinians in Sinai and declare a Palestinian state there. Writing in Al-Ahram last October, Ahmad Naguib Roushdy said: "If these rumors are true, the Palestinians have shown themselves to be ungrateful and could be considered to be Egypt's enemies."
