GAZA, May 27
(Xinhuanet) -- Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat on Thursday denied
reports that Egypt will deploy 700 troops on the borderline between Gaza Strip
and Egypt in case of an Israeli pullout.
Speaking to Ramallah-based Al Ayyam Daily, Erekat said "all what had been said about redeploying
Egyptian security forces on the borders are just untrue
rumors".
"All what Egypt has promised is to help reorganize
and reestablish the Palestinian security forces in the Gaza Strip," said
Erekat.
He said sending Egyptian security forces to train
Palestinian officers would coincide with sending Jordanian security officers to
the West Bank town of Jericho for the same purpose.
