Egypt simulates border control at Rafah

In the marked change from the earlier complete inaction, the 750-strong Egyptian police contingent started moving around after the Hamas takeover of Gaza. Egypt’s policy is to do nothing against Hamas, an offshoot of the powerful Egyptian opposition party Muslim Brotherhood, while pretending cooperation with Israel on security matters to satisfy the US Administration.
Hamas and civilian smugglers made dozens of tunnels under the nose of Egyptian police, and continue smuggling arms and explosives.
