General Muhammed Shusha, governor of north Sinai, now says the convoy will be split in two with the medical aid going through Rafah and the rest of the convoy going through Awja at the border between Egypt and Israel, 43 miles south of Rafah. It seems GG's negotiations have failed to get all the convoy through Rafah as originally intended. Why is the Egyptian government dancing to Israel's tune. Have they threatened to bomb the convoy? It has long been suspected that Israel co-ordinates its air strikes with Egypt as tunnel operators on the Egyptian side have noticed that the police and other security people always seem to disappear just before a raid hits the area.

"We know the value of Galloway as a peace advocate and we welcome him as a known friend of the Arabs," Ali al Din al Hilal from the NDP

"The warm welcome of the people here and their concern for Palestine is overwhelming. Egypt has given so much for Palestine over the last 60 years. Many soldiers have died for Palestine and we acknowledge this commitment," Galloway said at the press conference.
