Egypt was aware of this right at the start that’s why they keep a tight border, the Americans have already told them it’s out of the question, plus it would further isolate America in the region, the yanks have been foolish in this conflict but there are lines in the sandEgypt. Temporarily, of course, but then they won't be allowed back. Will never happen, imo, and I didn't say it makes much sense. None of it does to me. But it seems to me to be the likeliest objective of the Israelis, if you assume that removing Hamas from Gaza is the aim.
Let's see if we get any pressure from the US or the international community in Egypt to take in refugees "temporarily" in the next few days, then we will have our answer.
Government minister on LBC still insisting a ceasefire is something they don't support. Staggering!
It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.
Yep young Palestinians using slings to launch cupcakes at the IDFVery concerning this, hungry Palestinians breaking into warehouses for food, what if Hamas make rockets out of the bread
Wasn’t there a report recently that Qatar had donated enough money to Palestine to improve the standard of living no end but it was primarily used by Hamas to buy arms ?If you want peace you help build up the economy and improve their standard of living, not have a policy of persecuting them in perpetuity.
We are getting very close to the point the Americans say enough is enough, this not war it’s slaughter and starvation using American means
Another way has to be found, the political temperature keeps rising in the region, Western counties can’t deny what public opinion says, Israel needs saving from itself sometimes
Surrender and die or die fighting I think the would be there answer, the average Hamas fighter has nothing to live for except life in an open air prison fed scraps every now and then, until people understand this we are never going to solve the problemTwo points:
1: Why do Hamas not surrender and put an end to this particular round of slaughter?
2: International Law. What's the point if no one has the balls to enforce the law? Without Israel breaking International Law where is the downside for Hamas having an annual mass massacre of Jews? What is the downside for Israel responding with overwhelming force?
I did not see that, but the Americans do have that power, to a large extent Israel only exists in the modern world due to American patronage, when they fail to restrain them disaster ensues like the War in Lebanon, Israel needs saving from itselfLast night the military advisor sent to Israel to advise basically washed his hands of it basically saying what happens next is entirely an Israeli decision.
To me that suggests the US were trying to calm things down or advise away from a land offensive but failed to persuade them.
