Mohamed Bassiouny: Treaty allows unlimited police deployment on border with Israel.(Imra).

[Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA: It should be noted that the treaty in no way sets limits on the experience of the Egyptian police deployed in the border area near Israel.] 

Mohamed Bassiouny: Treaty allows unlimited police deployment "According to the treaty, Sinai is divided into three areas, namely West Sinai (A), central Sinai (B) and East Sinai (C), where the clashes took place. This last region along the border line with Israel includes Taba, Sharm el-Sheikh and Rafah, the gate to the Gaza Strip. According to the treaty, the Egyptian armed forces secure sections A and B with 26,000 equipped soldiers, while section C is secured by police. And despite the fact that the treaty allows Egypt to put any number of police personnel in this section, they are poorly armed, lack military experience and may make mistakes. This allows the Bedouins, who are better armed and more familiar with the region, to infiltrate the border."
