Egypt no less responsible for Gaza Strip than we are, says Israeli minister
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on Google“Egypt is no less responsible” for the situation in the Gaza Strip than Israel is, says Environmental Affairs Minister Ze’ev Elkin.
“As far as we are concerned, after Israel left Gaza, responsibility should not be imposed on us,” Elkin tells the Ynet news site, referring to the Jewish state’s 2005 unilateral withdrawal from the coastal enclave.
“We left Gaza. If someone strikes at us from Gaza, they will get hit back. Let the Arab world resolve the internal, humanitarian problem of the Gaza Strip. Why should we bear responsibility for this?”
