This Israeli government does not want journalists to see because they will be able to verify the carnage and killing that Palestinians have been posting for months on social media.
This is important: Reporters, including this author, need to stop writing that Egypt has any control over what enters Gaza. There is an agreement between Israel and Egypt that governs the Rafah crossing that was signed in the mid-2000s. In that agreement, Egypt gets to approve what enters Egypt from Gaza and ISRAEL approves what enters Gaza from Egypt. Let me say that again: ISRAEL approves what enters Gaza. Israel inspects trucks; Israel grants entry visas. Thus, the Egyptians are not preventing trucks or people from entering Gaza--Israel does that. The Egyptians are preventing Palestinians from entering Egypt--because they control what enters Egypt. They do not control what enters Gaza.
