Except that Egypt continues to abide by its treaty obligations with Israel, and questions and searches anyone wanting to enter or leave Gaza. The extended wait and hassle at border checkpoints is legendary. At checkpoints controlled by the IDF, the process is even more restrictive and serves to prohibit all but a few individuals from traveling. No one, of course can approach the Gaza coast without being detained and redirected to an Israeli port. Gaza is a prison.
