Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (R) and Israeli Vice Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ehud Olmert attend a session of the Israeli parliament in Jerusalem August 31, 2005. The Israeli parliament is expected on Wednesday to ratify the agreement with Egypt calling for the deployment of Egyptian border policemen along the Egypt-Gaza border to prevent arms smuggling by Palestinian militants. Egyptian forces would replace Israeli troops now stationed in the volatile Philadelphi Corridor and enable Israel to end its 38-year-old military presence in the Gaza Strip. REUTERS/Ammar Awad
