Gaza Q& A with Aluf Benn, Haaretz Diplomatic Editor
By Israel Policy Forum, February 7, 2008
On Monday, February 4, Israel Policy Forum held a conference call with Aluf Benn. His remarks follow below:
How did Israelis view the breach of the Gaza-Egypt border?
Initially, the Israeli reaction to the breakout was, "let's wait and see and then we'll tell the Egyptians that Gaza is their responsibility." After the first few days, Israeli officials started saying, "that's what we wanted all along. We wanted to disconnect ourselves from Gaza. Let the Egyptians care for Gaza's welfare."
