Egyptian Foreign Minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, said in a Cairo press conference that Egypt had long since warned Israel would respond in this manner, and added that those who did not heed the warning "should bear the responsibility."
He noted that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned Hamas as well. Earlier in the day Aboul Gheit said that Egypt had predicted this would be the play of events, "because Hamas did not stop firing rockets into Israel."
Update:
and apparently Hamas is blocking wounded people from going to Egypt. Egypt is waiting at the border with ambulances but no-one popped up. The minister of foreign affairs believes Hamas is blocking the border. Now,.. why would that be? A propaganda trick? Because of the background of the wounded (Hamas-affiliated, perhaps)?
