"As for the crossings from Gaza into Israel, Israel surrendered the prerogative to shut down them down to secure personnel against terror alerts, although these facilities are notoriously prime terrorist targets. Jerusalem has undertaken to first notify the US embassy in Tel Aviv and back up its “request” with specific information, thus parting with its intelligence secrets. It must then wait for permission from Washington – or its refusal - to the closure." What kind of moron in the US would be willing party to that agreement. Shutting down border crossings is politically charged and subject to pressure. Why would any American President agree to put themselves on the hot seat. Allowing Palestinians to police convoys on Israeli soil is a sure fire method of arming the enemy within.
