Israel monitoring goings-on

I wonder why

Border control of the Gaza Strip now dominates discussions between Israel, Egypt and the Palestinian Authority and, as Israel continues to wind down operations in Gaza, there is little harmony over how people and goods will move in and out of Palestinian territory.... Israeli defense officials Wednesday recommended people or goods leaving Gaza could move directly into Egypt through an existing crossing in the city of Rafah, at the southern end of the Palestinian territory. Israelis are insisting, however, that all goods and people entering Gaza must pass through a tri-country crossing at Kerem Shalom, where Israeli officials could also verify goods and identities. "That's not workable," said Palestinian adviser Saeb Erekat, one of three Palestinian aides who Wednesday attended a breakfast meeting and discussion afterward between Abbas and Mubarak. "We can work with the idea of a third party monitoring the Rafah crossing to ensure security. But we do not want Israel telling us how to keep people and goods coming in and out of Gaza," Erekat said.

They must be planning on importing a lot of rockets.
