Gazan culture has an affinity with Egypt, having been controlled by Egypt for decades. So, Gaza does not want control from the Palestinian Authority.

He lives in luxury in Qatar. He is the leader of Hamas, and while many Palestinians in Gaza are living in poverty under his brutal regime, he is telling them to remain in a war zone and not evacuate to safety. What an utterly disingenuous despot. "'Forward' he cried from the rear And the front rank died."

You keep pushing this for some unclear reason. There are supporters of Fatah in the Gaza Strip as well. There are supporters of Hamas in the West Bank. What 'affinity' you're on about is mostly something of the past, and would anyway apply to original Palestinian residents of the Strip. The demographics changes significantly with refugee influx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamas doesn't share information like this with him. And if he knows it, it's a safe bet Israel does as well. I don't think Israel needs a whole lot of tactical intel from Abbas, when it comes to Gaza Strip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RanongCat Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 1 hour ago, Morch said: Israel worries Hamas leadership will use this as cover to escape. Egypt doesn't want to seem as treating foreigners better than Palestinians. They are probably also worried that opening the pass for this will result in a mass stampede. Not sure why my question gets referenced to Egypt alone. Surely Israel ( IDF ) can reasonably safely distinguish between Palestinians and foreigners who seek exit from Gaza at the Israeli / Gaza border? While Hamas can be legitimately blamed for creating this current outcome it is Israel that risks resentment by other nations if they ignore the plight of uninvolved foreign nationals kept trapped between a rock and a hard place .

Many Israelis are hostages. Cutting electricity to all of Gaza is collective punishment and is IMO illegal under international law, but Israel has been flouting that for decades with it's illegal occupation and land theft. I fully expect Israel to indiscriminately bomb Gaza with the usual toll of dead children and innocent citizens. Yahoo???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damage to water pipes is one thing but without electricity to power pumps .....? Was naive to think that IDF is capable of doing anything humane. It turns out they only talking about allowing water in south of Gaza (not to the northern part) to entice people to go there in accordance with their war crime attempt to mass enforce civilians to relocate so it would be easier to push them across the border to neighbouring Egypt. And yes you are right, without electricity, this is a worthless cunning move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
