I'm open to correction on this Mike, but the search I did on "Gaza strip fence" states that it was built by the Israelis and therefore not open to removal by Egypt, and bear in mind the clear implication of my last post, that it took the blowing up of the fence and a mass movement to overcome the restrictions on passage normally in force, which were restored when the fence was repaired, presumably by, or at the behest of Israel.

If Egypt were a friend of Gaza, surely no restriction would apply to movement other than weapons, which is signally not the case.
