"In practice Israel closes the crossing at will, on the pretext of "intelligence of an imminent attack." This automatically prevents the European observers from reaching the crossing - which ensures that it remains closed.

damn facts! the observers dont have to go through keren shalom to get to rafah...they can enter via erez...a bit of round trip (instead of 10minutes, its about an hour)....but they dont want to, nor do they want to stay in the Egyptian side of the border of Rafah which would be two minute walk to the crossing.....

so the real question is, why dont the observers want to open Rafah? anybody want to try to answer?....anybody?....somebody......
