I have more faith in our intelligence services and the IDF than you do. If the Egyptians don't do their job on the border we will know and take appropriate actions. No large quantities of missiles (or hopefully any missiles at all) will be allowed in Gaza. Do you seriously believe we will stop monitoring the border?

To answer your question: yes, we provide utilities. We really should stop and let the Palestinians fend for themselves. If they can build rockets they can build desalination plants, no?

What? Attack Egyptians? Come on, get real.

Well, Yes, I sure do. IDF was not able to completely cut Gaza from Egyptian military supplies coming through (and under) the border at Rafiakh. What makes you think that thing would change for better as IDF leaves?

As for utilities, they should be cut off next day after evacuation. The whole point to leave Gaza was to let them swim (and sink) on their own.
