"Egypt is allowing freer temporary entry for Palestinians into the country in an
unprecedented move that eases long-imposed travel restrictions, particularly on
Gazans, Egyptian and Palestinian officials said Monday. The decision has caused confusion among the security agencies here — and
appeared to bring some resistance. Some officers at the airport refused to
implement the measures, an airport official said, in a sign of how deeply some
in the security forces view the Palestinians as a potential threat. Even as some officials initially denied any easing, airport officials said
seven Gazans were allowed into Egypt by dawn Monday without the usual
restrictions. The changes appeared to be a gesture to the Palestinians after separate
meetings last week between Egypt’s new president, Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim
Brotherhood, and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and the leader of Hamas,
Khaled Mashaal, whose group controls Gaza." (thanks William)
PS And no. The author is wrong. It does not mean that security forces view Palestinians as security threat but that they are paid tools of Israeli intelligence.
