By "controls", by the way, here is an excerpt of the 2005 agreement.
The PA should notify the Israeli authorities 48 hours in advance of the crossing of a person in the excepted categories (Only people with Palestinian ID, or foreign nationals, by exception, in certain categories, subject to Israeli oversight,)
Rafah would be used for export of goods to Egypt, subject to rigid control. Imports must be cleared by PA customs officials at Kerem Shalom under the supervision of Israeli customs agents.
When Hamas took over the Gaza Strip in 2007, all PA officials were replaced with Hamas ones, with the same roles and everything.

Red Sea Crisis: Is the US Navy headed for an embarassing debacle?
Shortly before the US and the UK attacked Yemen, the New Rules podcast interviewed military analyst Andrei Martyanov about the naval showdown in the Red Sea. Even though the conflict is escalating quickly, the main ideas still remain relevant:
🔺 The Biden Admin has mismanaged Operation Prosperity Guardian from the very beginning, failed to properly coordinate with US allies. Lloyd Austin scandal exposed that the deep level of dysfunction within the Pentagon.
🔺 US Navy is not ready for a war of attrition against the Houthis. For every $5,000 drone that the Houthis launch at the US carrier group in the Red Sea, the Americans have to expend a $2 million air defense missile. What happens when the missiles run out or the Houthis get lucky?
🔺 A bombing campaign against the Houthis is unlikely to make a big difference. The only other option at Biden’s disposal is attempting a costly and bloody land invasion against Yemen. Lose-lose situation for the US.
🔺 Although the US Navy was once the most powerful in the world, it has failed to adapt to military tech revolution of recent years. Now, the US Navy would seriously struggle in a fight against Russia, China, or Iran.

⚡️🇪🇬 The Full Egyptian Text regarding the Israeli statements that occurred in the ICJ.
Dia Rashwan, head of the State Information Service, categorically denied the allegations and lies of the Israeli defense team before the International Court of Justice, that Egypt is responsible for preventing the entry of humanitarian and relief aid into the Gaza Strip from the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing.
The head of the State Information Service explained that the inconsistency and lies of the Israeli allegations are evident in the following points:
- All Israeli officials, led by the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Energy, have confirmed dozens of times in public statements since the start of the aggression on Gaza that they will not allow aid to enter the Gaza Strip, especially fuel, because this is part of the war that their state is waging against the Strip.
- After all these statements, which did not consider this prevention and siege to be war crimes and genocide under international law, and when the occupying state found itself before the International Court of Justice accused with documented evidence of these crimes, it resorted to throwing accusations against Egypt in an attempt to escape its likely condemnation by The court.
It is known that Egypt’s sovereignty extends only to the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing, while the other side of it in Gaza is subject to the actual occupation authority, which was actually demonstrated in the mechanism for the entry of aid from the Egyptian side to the Kerem Shalom crossing, which connects the Gaza Strip to Israeli territory, where it is She was searched by the Israeli army, before being allowed to enter the Gaza Strip.
- Egypt has announced dozens of times in official statements, starting with the President of the Republic, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and all concerned parties, that the Rafah crossing from the Egyptian side is open without interruption, calling on the Israeli side not to prevent the flow of humanitarian aid to the Strip and to stop deliberately obstructing or delaying the entry of aid under the pretext of inspecting it.
- Many senior world officials, led by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, visited the Rafah crossing from the Egyptian side, and not one of them was able to cross it into the Gaza Strip, due to the Israeli army preventing them from doing so, or because they feared for their lives due to the ongoing Israeli bombing of the Strip.
- The negotiations that took place over the humanitarian truces, which lasted for a week in the Gaza Strip, in which Egypt, Qatar, and the United States were parties, witnessed extreme intransigence on the part of the Israeli side in determining the amount of aid that the occupation forces would allow to enter the Strip, given that they control it militarily, which resulted in The end of the entry of quantities announced at the time.
- In light of the continued Israeli intention to obstruct the entry of aid at the Kerem Shalom crossing, Egypt has resorted to assigning Egyptian trucks with Egyptian drivers to enter, after inspection, directly into the territory of the Gaza Strip to distribute aid to its residents, instead of transferring it to Palestinian trucks to do this.
What confirms the Israeli occupation army’s control over the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip and its deliberate obstruction of it is what US President Joe Biden demanded of it by opening the Kerem Shalom crossing to facilitate its entry, which was announced by his National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on December 13, as good news.
- If the Israeli authorities really want food, medical supplies, and fuel to enter the Gaza Strip, they have six (6) crossings from their territory with the Gaza Strip, which they must open immediately for trade and not for the entry of aid, especially since this trade with the Gaza Strip had reached more than 2022. Of $4.7 billion for the benefit of the Israeli commercial and industrial sector.
