Gaza talks explore alternative to Israeli troops on Gaza-Egypt border

Or at least the Egypt/Hamas side of the negotiation among themselves, anyway.

[GEO.TV] Israeli and Egyptian ceasefire negotiators are in talks about an electronic surveillance system along the border between Gaza and Egypt that could allow Israel to pull back its troops from the area if a ceasefire is agreed, according to two Egyptian sources and a third source familiar with the matter.

…none of whom are Israeli, or the article would have said so.

The question of whether Israeli forces stay on the border is one of the issues blocking a potential ceasefire deal because both group Hamas and Egypt, a mediator in the talks, are opposed to Israel keeping its forces there.

Israel is worried that if its troops leave the border zone, referred to by Israel as the Philadelphi corridor, Hamas's armed wing could smuggle in weapons and supplies from Egypt into Gaza via tunnels that would allow it to re-arm and again threaten Israel.

What the article would have noted had the reporters bothered to check with Israel:

Netanyahu’s office denies report Israel open to pullout from Gaza-Egypt border

[IsraelTimes] PMO insists IDF will remain on Philadelphi Corridor, after Reuters cites Egyptian sources that say installing surveillance equipment to prevent smuggling would lead to IDF withdrawal.

#3 How about instead of a 'Gaza/Egypt border, let it become an Israel/Egypt border manned by Israel?

If there is no more Gaza, all this border issues would be done and over with!

#4 Maybe bring some blue helmets in, since they do such a good job keeping the Hezbullies back from the Litani?

#5 Yeah, blue helmets. Good idea. So now the Gazans can see what sexual abuse is like.
