Egypt says border will go back to normal, rejects control of Gaza
A top Egyptian official said Thursday that Egypt's border with Gaza will go back to normal, and strongly rejected the idea - floated by Israel - that the Jewish state might relinquish all responsibility for the troubled Gaza Strip.
"This is a wrong assumption," Hossam Zaki, the official spokesman for Egypt's foreign ministry, said of Israeli hints that it was thinking of giving up all responsibility for Gaza, including supplying electricity, now that the territory's southern border with Egypt is open. (AP)
