We want to see maximum movement at the crossings, but that decision has to be weighed next to the very real security threats that there are, ... If we opened every crossing and there were a wave of suicide bombings, then we'd just have to close everything down again.

The fear was that extremists would use porous borders to pour into Gaza to bring in explosives, weaponry cash, and that would energize the most extremist elements in the Gaza Strip instead of helping the moderates. I think this agreement that we have reached today has the right balance. It provides the maximum possible movement for Palestinians to move in and out of Gaza, as they desire and for goods to come in and out of Gaza, and at the same time for that to be balanced with the very real security concerns that everyone has.
