Barak Offers PA To Take Control of Gaza Crossings
(IsraelNN.com) Defense Minister Ehud Barak told the Davos Economic Forum Thursday night that Israel could let the Palestinian Authority (PA) take control of the crossings to Gaza provided that security was "effective as that of Jordan, Egypt and even Syria." However, he added, "We are not promising anything."
His comments came despite months of Israeli protests that Egypt has been ineffective in patrolling the borders to Israel and Gaza. American officials also have stated that Egypt is not doing enough to control the influx of terrorists, arms and explosives into Gaza. Public Security Minister Avi Dichter has revealed that terrorists have massed a stockpile of close to 100 tons of explosives as well as advanced weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles and long-range rockets.
