Egypt Fortifies Border Against Possible Exodus of Palestinians

Egypt, the other country besides Israel that borders Gaza, moved quickly this week to fortify its border and prevent a flood of Palestinians from entering Egyptian territory during Israel’s counteroffensive against Hamas.

The Israeli military suggested on Tuesday that Palestinians who do not wish to be used as human shields by the Hamas terrorists should flee across the Egyptian border. Israeli Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Hecht rescinded that advice later on Tuesday.

“Clarification: The Rafah crossing was open yesterday, but now it’s closed,” Hecht said.

The Rafah crossing was evidently shut down because Israel dropped several bombs near it. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) said on Tuesday it conducted airstrikes against a tunnel in the vicinity of Rafah used by Palestinian terrorists to smuggle weapons and equipment.

The IDF warned officials in Gaza and Egypt that the strike against the tunnel was coming.

“In recent days, the IDF has been instructing the population inside of the Gaza Strip to distance themselves from designated areas. We emphasize that there is no official call by Israel for residents of the Gaza Strip to exit into Egypt,” the IDF said on Tuesday.

Egypt don’t want them?

[Vigilanteman]

Let them exit via a freighter bound for Somalia.

[BenLurkin]

The Gazans will be happy and prosperous in Egypt.

No country in the mid-east wants those animals so Biden will start the flights soon, dropping them off in a red state just in time to vote.

[SCConservative58]

First and foremost, "palestine" does not exist. And the more the better. The only way Israel will EVER have peace is if "palestine" becomes a ghost town. These vermin are a curse to the entire region.

[NWFree]

Don’t they want to extend love toward their heathen killer brothers?

[Magnum44]

We could a lesson from them regarding borders, eh?

[TheDon]

They’ll be headed to Europe and the USA they way things have been going lately.

[TheDon]

Yep.

[libertylover]

Even the Egyptians don’t want them.

[ConservativeMind]

What wrong with all Gazans being chased into the sea?

Egypt Fortifies Border Against Possible Exodus of Palestinians

One would think that US Favorite, Jordan should take them all.

[libh8er]

“ Egypt don’t want them?”

The reality is Palestinians are among the most hated ethnic groups in the Middle East but because of political correctness they can’t say it. Most countries there don’t want them.

[EinNYC]

See? Egypt doesn’t want them either.

[popdonnelly]

Egyptians, correctly, do not want Hamas living next door.

[Spktyr]

No. Egypt just went through a coup to get rid of Muslim fundie idiots - they evicted the Muslim Brotherhood that were running the country. The Brotherhood took over in the first place because Egypt was getting too secular for them... well, they got the boot and Egypt is trying to become a Muslim In Name Only country as a result.

[popdonnelly]

How would the Gazans be happy if they couldn’t kill Israelis?

[Moorings]

Heartless! /sarcasm

So is AOC and Rashida Nutjob, and that Somali woman who married her brother going to rail against Egypt for being so heartless??

Are Iran and Saudi Arabia going to accept these refugees?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Egypt never wanted them and do not want to be associated with them. They have their own MB problem and do not need more terrorists coming in.

Jordan does not want them and neither does Lebanon. Perhaps Syria.
