Fine, so the EU is seiging Gaza with Egypt.

Though I think your data is not up to date the important fact remains the same: Israel does not control that border. Talking about the embrago and selectivly only mentioning Israel is a curious thing and to me it seems biased against that non-EU non-muslim state.

Please pay more attention to what I posted: I never mentioned Israel, and I am not biased against them.

The Gaza/Egypt border only allows people, not goods. Goods need to go through Israel/Gaza borders.

If you disagree with this, go talk to the administrators of those borders or modify the treaties that govern them.

If goods could freely pass back and forth there wouldn't be so many tunnels.

"Goods need to go through Israel/Gaza borders"- unless Egypt and EU will want to let goods go through the Egypt/Gaza border.

I'm not arguing that goods are currently flowing from Egypt. I'm saying that they could if Egypt and the EU would want them to. So the original comment you responded to was correct in wondering why Egypt is not being mentioned.

Go read about Camp David accords, Egypt-Israel peace treaty and the whole mess of UN resolutions involving Israel and after you do that, let me know if it just depends on Egypt.
