"EU ready to monitor Gaza-Egypt
border, but Israel may not watch"
The European Union has agreed to monitor the
Gaza-Egypt Rafah border crossing and train Palestinian police forces. The
decision follows Israeli and Palestinian requests for an EU presence at
the border. While the PA wants the EU border mission to be strictly advisory,
Israel wants the mission to have the final say over border checks. Israel,
concerned about terrorists and weapons, also wants to monitor traffic via
closed-circuit television.
