You take it. No, you take it. No ...

CAIRO, Jan 26 (KUNA) -- A meeting of the Egyptian cabinet headed by President Hosni Mubarak affirmed Saturday that the responsibility of the deterioration in the Gaza Strip fell on the Israeli government which did not allow relief aid supplies and necessities from entering the Palestinian region.

Foreign Minister Ahmad Abul-Gheit said after the cabinet meeting that the situation on the borders between Egypt and Gaza was going haywire due to the Israeli actions.

Egypt cares for the Gazans escaping the chaos there and the government would see to them and take care of Palestinians, stated the official. Abul-Gheit indicated that members of Palestinian movements mingling with civilians have started to cause problems, intimidating Egyptian border guards and security personnel.

The Egyptian hospitality must not be met by brute force on the part of members of Palestinian movements, stated the Egyptian official, adding that some of the guards were sent to the hospital for sustaining serious injuries. He went on saying that organizing procedures at the borders must continue in order to reach the status quo ante, before the Hamas control of the Gaza Strip in June 15, 2007.
