Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich was asked about Egypt's role in smuggling operations to the Gaza Strip and Hamas's buildup over the years, and said that "the Egyptians are very significantly responsible for the buildup of Hamas." The minister spoke at the National Education Conference of the Bnei Akiva Yeshivot and Ulpanot Center and "Makor Rishon," and addressed the Philadelphi Corridor: "What's the question? Of course. Under Philadelphi, there were 'highways of tunnels,' sometimes passing with a blind eye. During the period when the Muslim Brotherhood took control of Egypt, it was with authority, permission, in enormous proportions."
