- The Egyptian government is concerned that the events of the Hamas “Return March” in Gaza may spill over into Egyptian territory.
- Hamas has rejected an Egyptian proposal for Hamas to calm tensions in Gaza in exchange for Egypt opening the Rafah Crossing on a regular basis.
Why Egypt Is Concerned about Gaza
The Al-Khaleej Online website reported on April 9, 2018, that Egypt planned to open the Rafah crossing to traffic in both directions for a four-day period as a gesture toward the Hamas leadership and to reduce tensions in Gaza following the Return March.
Pfffft, Egypt is trying to bribe Hamas with chickenfeed.
