Hamas: 500,000 will march on Erez
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Khaled Abu Toameh , THE JERUSALEM POST Jan. 25, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Egypt has assured the Palestinian Authority that it will reseal its
border with the Gaza Strip in the coming days, PA officials in
Ramallah said Thursday.
Egypt also informed the PA leadership that Cairo would not exclude the
PA from any future agreement over controlling the Rafah border
crossing, they said.
Meanwhile, Hamas threatened to send half a million Palestinians
marching toward the Erez border crossing in northern Gaza.
"The next time there is a crisis in the Gaza Strip, Israel will have
to face half a million Palestinians who will march toward Erez," said
Ahmed Youssef, a senior Hamas official. "This is not an imaginary
scenario and many Palestinians would be prepared to sacrifice their
lives."
The PA is concerned that the events at the border with Sinai will
boost Hamas's popularity and enable the Islamist movement to smuggle
more weapons into the Gaza Strip. The PA is also worried that Egypt
will strike a separate deal with Hamas over the Rafah crossing.
"The Egyptian government has told us that the situation along the
border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt will return to normal," a
senior PA official told The Jerusalem Post. "They said they won't be
able to end the chaos in a day or two and this is understandable."
The Egyptian message came as tens of thousands of Gazans continued to
enter Sinai for a second straight day, after gunmen destroyed large
parts of the security wall along the border.
Sources in the Strip estimated that at least half a million
Palestinians had crossed the border since Wednesday morning. Other
sources put the figure at 700,000 - nearly half the population of the
Gaza Strip.
The Egyptians have rejected the idea of Israel waiving responsibility
for the Gaza Strip that was floated by Deputy Defense Minister Matan
Vilna'i.
"The border will go back as normal," said Egyptian Foreign Ministry
spokesman Hossam Zaki, adding that Cairo had not been approached by
Israel about a possible change in the status of the Gaza Strip. "The
current situation is only an exception and for temporary reasons," he
said.
A Cairo-based Arab diplomat said the Egyptians were worried that
Israel was trying to "export" the problem of the Gaza Strip to Egypt.
"The Egyptian regime does not want anything to do with the Gaza
Strip," he said. "As far as the Egyptians are concerned, Israel
remains the only party responsible for what happens there."
Hamas legislator Mushir al-Masri said his movement was not interested
in turning the Strip into an Egyptian problem. "The Gaza Strip belongs
to Palestine, not Egypt," he said. "The Israelis are trying to throw
the ball into the Egyptian court. But the Israeli dream will never be
fulfilled."
On Thursday, Egypt deployed several hundred border guards along the
border, preventing pickups and cars from crossing into Sinai. However,
the guards, who were equipped with dogs and clubs, did not try to stop
civilians from crossing the border on foot.
President Hosni Mubarak on Thursday warned the Palestinians against
harming Egyptian security forces guarding the border.
"We reject attempts to initiate clashes with Egyptian security forces
in Rafah," Mubarak said. "We know very well our national security
considerations. We won't allow them to compromise on them or harm
them."
Mubarak called on the various Palestinian factions to end their
differences and to work toward improving the situation in Gaza.
He also criticized Israel for temporarily suspending fuel supplies to
the Strip, sayings such actions were harmful to the peace process.
