Egypt Rejects Israeli Troops on Border; Namibia Blocks Vessel Heading to Israel with Weapons
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Egypt has rejected any Israeli presence along its border with Gaza,
including the Rafah border crossing and the Philadelphi Corridor.
Israel's military presence in the Philadelphi Corridor has become a
point of contention in ceasefire talks, which Cairo has been hosting.

In other related news, Namibia has blocked a vessel suspected of
carrying explosive weapons to Israel from docking at its ports. Rights
groups had warned Namibian officials that allowing the vessel to dock
could implicate Namibia in potential human rights violations.
