If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

REF: CAIRO 2455 
 
Sensitive but unclassified.  Not for internet distribution. 
 
(SBU) According to a press report, Rafah city residents 
remain angry over the possibility that the GOE will remove 
buildings within 150 meters of the Gaza border in order to 
enhance security.  A member of the North Sinai Tagammu party, 
Ashraf el Hefny, told a reporter from Egypt's "Daily News" 
that the GOE is prohibiting new building permits within 150 
meters of the border and refusing to grant water or 
electricity permits for buildings within 300 meters of the 
border.  A GOE contact denied the claims about the permits 
and reiterated that internal GOE discussions on this issue 
are in the early stages, and that Egypt expects considerable 
opposition from the locals (see reftel) and is taking 
residents' concerns into consideration.
