It is interesting that Egypt, a country that attacked Israel in 1967, has now made peace with Israel and even supports them in the blockade of Gaza, something that a lot of people feel is a major reason for Hamas being an aggressor.
Yeah you're absolutely right.

But I think a major reason why Egypt blockades Gaza is because of that peace treaty. In essence, allowing that border to open would be a declaration of war in Israel and nullification of the Peace treaty. Make no mistake about it though, Gazans and Hamas aren't big fans of that situation.
