Israel’s Defense Ministry prepared a video of Egyptian policemen in the Sinai helping Palestinian Arabs to smuggle weapons into Gaza. The video was intended for congressmen in the wake of voting on the Egyptian aid package (the US gives Egypt about as much aid as Israel). Israel’s Foreign Ministry scrapped the plan to avoid offending the Egyptians.
The video is one-sided. While some Egyptian policemen help Hamas, others courageously confront the smugglers. Egyptian policeman was killed yesterday during one such encounter.
