A spokesperson of the Egyptian foreign ministry has alleged that Israel is continuing attacks against the southern part of the Gaza Strip in an effort to force Palestinian people to depart the enclave.
Continued bombing targeting displaced people in the South has a clear objective, and thats to force Gazas residents to leave the Strip, the spokesperson said on social media. Egypt has clearly declared its utter rejection of any enforced displacement attempt of Palestinians.
Israel has repeatedly said its ground presence in the Gaza Strip and ongoing airstrikes upon the enclave only aim to dismantle Hamas, but has raided and attacked civilian sites it says are used in a military capacity by the Palestinian militant group.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell have previously stated they do not support the forced displacement of Palestinian people as a long-term solution to the conflict in the Middle East.

I am dumbfounded I tell you. Especially with their unbroken welcoming and support of Palestinian refugees.

No...they dont have to take them, but their rabid refusal says everything. No compromise...just keep out!
It seems they fear them. Women, children, men...
Why?
And if so, why shouldn't Israel be allowed to be untrusting as well.
Lots of complicated answers.

Would you ask why should the U.S. take in Guatemala's refugees, or El Salvador's or Haiti's?
Not supporting it and preventing it from happening are two different things.

(605 posts)what would your reaction be if a Republican President was doing this to people of Latino heritage? You'd be in an uproar. So why aren't you with this?
