Just for clarification: While I said the backstop by itself is not legally mandated, closing the border to NI is a legal breach to the GFA. So there would need some mechanism or another needed to keep that border open.

As noted many times, the border will not close if the backstop is removed.

Not automatically but there is a good chance that the border will be closed. I don't understand, why do you think the backstop is not necessary?
