Israel Seeks Egyptian Takeover Of Gaza

TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel has been seeking to persuade Egypt to regain the
Gaza Strip, a report said.
The Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies asserted that the
government of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu decided against a ground
assault against the Hamas regime in November 2012 to avoid a takeover of the
Gaza Strip. In a report, the center said Netanyahu preferred an Egyptian
control over the strip rather than that of the Palestinian Authority.
