ships-cat Posted December 29, 2007 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) Some 2,000 Palestinians returning from a pilgrimage to Mecca are stranded on two boats off the Egyptian coast. Egypt is insisting that they must re-enter Gaza through Aouja, a border crossing controlled by Israel. The group is thought to include senior members of the militant organisation Hamas, and Israel believes some of them may attempt to smuggle funds into Gaza. source: BBC News Website Sneaky... Israel allows them to leave for their pilgrimage...but then doesn't let tham back in again. Somebody ought to suggest this to our Home Office. (or whichever department is responsible for mismanaging our borders today ). Meow Purr Edited December 29, 2007 by ships-cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
