A group of German experts will be sent to the Egyptian border in order to help efforts to limit the weapons being smuggled through tunnels into the Gaza strip. Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier offered the team to Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak during a meeting at the weekend.
Steinmeier warned that elements in Iran were putting themselves forwards as representatives of Palestinian interests, and said this was a dangerous development.
Talking to the Welt am Sonntag he said, “Many of the people I have talked with in the Middle East tell me that Iran threatens to become the big winner of the Gaza conflict.
“And in fact, Teheran is taking on the role of agent of Palestinian interests in many parts of the Arab world. I consider this a very dangerous development. Another reason to reach a complete and lasting ceasefire as fast as possible.”
He said the expert team would be sent to Egypt as soon as possible.
