Israel and Egypt have sorted out the last details of an agreement regarding Egyptian supervision of the border with Gaza, one of the key elements that had to be resolved for Israel to complete its pullout from the Gaza Strip.
Citing unidentified defense sources, Israel Radio said ...750 Egyptian border police would be equipped with armored personnel carriers, light arms, and rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
Egypt will also deploy naval patrol boats off the Gaza coast.
... Egypt pledged it would not provide weapons to the Palestinian Authority after Israel leaves the frontier.
...The agreement must still be approved by the cabinet and the Knesset before it can be signed by senior military officers...
