#1 This problem is easily solved by Egypt.

Accept Gaza BACK into Egypt from whence it came (via another Arab war against Israel) and they won't have to worry about a breach, as there'd be no border.

Even Egypt wouldn't have a fortified border around part of their own country - would they?

Maybe they also like to publicly explain - in Arabic as well as English - why they don't want Gaza back. Who wouldn't want to welcome their ~~cistern~~ brethern home into the fold again? What could possibly be the problem? Surely they can't be afraid of hurting Israel's feelings by accepting Egypt's former land and citizens back again....

#4 Now why would the Egyptians want ANOTHER religious headache? Isn't the Copt/Muslim friction enough? I don't blame Egypt one bit for wanting that cesspool their responsibility again.
