IS THIS VERSAILLES?:
Israel looks to cut Gaza links (Ben Lynfield, 1/25/08, The Scotsman)
ISRAEL wants to cut its links with the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip after militants blasted open the territory's border with Egypt in defiance of an Israeli blockade.Matan Vilnai, Israel's deputy defence minister, said yesterday that Israel wanted to wash its hands of Gaza altogether by handing over supply of electricity, water and medicine to others. An Israeli security official said Egypt should take over responsibility.

What an odd notion, that it is just for Israel to hand Palestine to Egypt.
