Something missing from this report?

The BBC report that:
'Israel must go beyond easing its blockade of Gaza and throw open its long-closed border, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton has said.

Lady Ashton urged the international community to pressure Israel to end the blockade. '
Line after line of this report include this
'The BBC's Jon Donnison in Gaza says the territory's economy has been devastated by the blockade; exports are still banned and there is 40%unemployment.'

What I cannot find is any mention that Egypt has a border with Gaza that is also closed. Why the pressure on Israel, but no mention of Egypt? Anyone might think that the BBC had an anti-Israel agenda.
