Apparently Egypt's Foreign Minister, Ahmed Abul Gheit, got a bit testy today and made this announcment regarding all of the fuss about the Gaza border:
Abul Gheit also harshly criticized the missiles being fired into Israel by Hamas and then of course, on cue, Hamas came back and criticized Abul Gheit and told him to "stop making threats."
You know, the ironic thing is this. Egypt is threatening to break legs for invaders into its land now while innocent Israelis are being killed and maimed by invaders who don't even cross the border, they fire missiles. What will Egypt's foreign minister say when Hamas lobs a few Qassams his way?
Here's the brief story from DEBKA.
“Anyone who breaches the border will have their legs broken.”

DEBKAfile: In abrupt turnaround, Egypt threatens anyone breaching Gaza border
An angry Egyptian foreign minister Ahmed Abul Gheit said Thursday, Feb. 7: “Anyone who breaches the border will have their legs broken.” Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians began swarming into Egyptian Sinai two weeks ago after Hamas smashed the border fences.
Abu Gheit said they had been allowed to flood across for humanitarians only. He reproached Hamas for firing rockets into Israel - thereby provoking the Israel blockade of Gaza - as “a laughable caricature.” Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum advised the Egyptian minister to stop making threats.
In Cairo, defense minister Mohammed Tantawi backed Abu Gheit by saying no one was allowed to violate national security and Egypt has an arsenal “that conforms with the most modern technology in the world."
DEBKAfile discloses that President Hosni Mubarak decided to crack down on the Hamas-led mass Palestinian invasion of Sinai after Saudi King Abdullah, a former Hamas patron, warned that the Palestinian fundamentalists were on a wild rampage which unchecked could provoke destabilizing radical violence against Arab regimes. DEBKA-Net-Weekly publishes the details of the urgent messages exchanged between the two Arab rulers in its next issue.
