1. PROUD OF YOU Egypt and now take historic responsibility too.
JO   (06.08.10)
Egypt was offered Gaza back - it ruled it for many many years and lost it in war they initiated. Israel captured it in war and offered it back with the Sinai- they refused. It is about time Egypt took more responsibility for it's own history in Palestine.
2. MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD? GAZA NOW OPEN FOR TERRORIST GROUPS..

good work egypt! watch the deadly ramifications of your 'humanity'.
3. Wrong title - Egypt lifted the blockade maybe, but not broke
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & New York   (06.08.10)
How could they break the blockade that they were enforcing? This is a headline grabbing attempt to distance themselves from the past 3 years of enforcing the blockade and stopping smuggling.
4. Give Gaza to Egypt
Daniel ,   Washington   (06.08.10)
Israel pulled out of Gaza and removed every Jew from within Gaza's borders. The only Jew there now is Shalit. As Israel had conquered Gaza from Egypt and Egypt has opened the border, it only makes sense to tell Egypt Gaza is theirs. Israel is relinquishing the land of Gaza back to its former country. With that the problem of a blockade, Hamas, rockets, etc will all be moot. Egypt as the controlling government would have to control the area.
5. 'express support for residents'...
king david ,   israel   (06.08.10)
say what? you want to support gaza's residents? take them into your country and give them citizenships. as arabs they belong either to jordan (which is palestine) or egypt as alternative. just as far away from israel as possible. we finally want peace and quiet on our land. even egypt lebanon syria and jordan is still jewish land, but its ok, you can stay and keep it, for now.
6. Israel should seal its borders
Danny   (06.08.10)
Let Egypt be the "occupying power"
7. residents?!!
Mary ,   USA   (06.08.10)
Its not your lands, Even Egypt Jordan Syria is not your lands and it will never be, thats because your end is too soon as you made all the area your enemies, even your ally turkey is now an enemy, and you got no lands btw you belong to every country in the world but you shouldnt have a country!
