Flashback: August 24: Egypt Gaza Border Patrol Agreed

"Gen Gilad said both sides had reached a 'very detailed agreement down to the last pistol'.
Some 750 Egyptian troops will patrol the border after Israel pulls soldiers out of the area, scene of frequent clashes with militants.
Israel has insisted for months that Egypt must boost its security presence at the border, along the so-called 'Philadelphi route' buffer zone that divides Gaza from Egypt.
The deal came after Egypt promised not to transfer weapons to the Palestinian Authority after the pullout. "

Amos continued, "Egypt is a big country which claims to respect the agreements it signs. It is inconceivable that Egypt as a sovereign state does not control its frontiers."
