“All your wishful thinking or desires or proposals or “what-ifs” are not going to change that fact of either HAMAS or the PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY.”
All I am saying is it is irrelevant who has the border on the Gaza side. This is about the leverage Israel will gain and the semblance of positive PR Israel may see.
One is just as bad as the other and Israel is pretty sure whoever controls the border at Gaza will be bringing in weapons.
You do know that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has destroyed the Hamas tunnels and have made it practically impossible for Ha,as to continue their smuggling business ... I hope.
Egyptians Hoping Israel Will Destroy Hamas

Sisi’s decision not to intervene in the current crisis did not come as a surprise. In fact, Sisi and many Egyptians seem to be delighted that Hamas is being badly hurt.
Some Egyptians are even openly expressing hope that Israel will completely destroy Hamas, which they regard as the “armed branch of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization.”
Sisi’s Egypt has not forgiven Hamas for its alliance with Muslim Brotherhood and its involvement in terrorist attacks against Egyptian civilians and soldiers over the past year.
The Egyptians today understand that Hamas and other radical Islamist groups pose a serious threat to their national security. That is why the Egyptian authorities have, over the past year, been taking tough security measures not only against Hamas, but also the entire population of the Gaza Strip.
These measures include the destruction of dozens of smuggling tunnels along the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt and the designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization.
