Field Marshal Tantawi (who won the rank from successive defeats of his army) answers to Israel

"Egyptian authorities have reneged on some of the facilitations it had agreed upon and started providing at the Rafah border crossing last Saturday, according to the Palestinian director of the borders and crossings police in Gaza, Salama Baraka.  Following a meeting with Egyptian General Intelligence, Baraka told reporters that Egypt has decided to reduce the number of travellers crossing the border to between 250 and 400, the same number that passed through the crossing before restrictions were lifted."
