Abdel-Moneim Said: Defending Egypt - '...It has also been amply demonstrated that the smuggled weapons were pointed at Palestinians first, and that when the weapons were put to the service of strategy it was not a Palestinian strategy, which can not exist under the current rift, or an Arab strategy, especially now that Hamas has thwarted Egypt's reconciliation drive. Once again, Egypt will not allow itself to be dragged into battles against its will; it will not be inveigled by others that exploit the banners of Arabism or Islam, or the fight against Israel, to advance the agendas of other countries.'
